‘Morally unjust’ to pretend DEI is now unnecessary because the playing field has been leveled, diversity leader says

Vernā Myers, diversity consultant, author, lawyer and founder of The Vernā Myers Company, and Anson Frericks, author and founder of venture firm Athletic Capital disucss DEI on stage during the Fortune Workplace Innovation Summit.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts have come under fire as of late, as the Trump administration cracks down on such policies it deems illegal. 

And it’s not just the political sphere that’s polarized on the issue. Business leaders themselves have varying viewpoints on DEI, what it means, and how to talk about it with their employees. While supporters say such strategies are necessary to address persistent workplace inequities, others agree that some companies have missed the mark in terms of these policies.
