The Wall Street Journal
In 2024, Corporate America faced significant backlash from activists, leading to a notable pullback on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. As the new year unfolds, these companies will encounter an even more formidable challenge with the second Trump administration. The upcoming changes are expected to further impact diversity initiatives, making it crucial for businesses to adapt to the shifting landscape and prioritize inclusive practices to foster a culture of belonging. With the rise of social responsibility and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations, companies must navigate this complex terrain to maintain their reputation and appeal to a diverse workforce and customer base.
