Simone Foxman:自从特朗普政府上台以来,公众和公司内部对种族、性别等问题的看法发生了转变。特朗普政府的行政命令鼓励联邦承包商和私营公司消除他们认为的“非法DEI”。然而,公司面临的挑战是,对于什么是“非法DEI”并没有明确的定义,这使得公司难以确定哪些政策需要调整。许多公司已经开始强调包容性,并尽量减少多元化和公平这两个词的使用,因为人们可能对公平感到困惑。尽管存在这些变化,许多公司仍然维持着关于包容性的培训、奖学金项目以及参加大型招聘活动等项目,因为他们认为这些项目足够重要,不违反法律。我发现,即使公开表示在一定程度上缩减DEI的公司,实际上仍在谈论相关事宜。例如,沃尔玛更改了其供应商多元化计划,现在称为供应商包容计划,但其网站上仍然有关于LGBTQIA+品牌和西班牙裔黑人女性拥有的品牌的页面。总的来说,公司已经调整了项目,撤回了法律灰色地带的内容,以及看起来太像配额的内容,并减少了政治色彩,以避免潜在的法律风险和公众反感。
