It is no secret that DEI initiatives are taking flak in the court of public opinion, with headlines such as "DEI must die," "Progressive diktat," or "A lightning rod for controversy," making routine appearances online.
But beyond the media spats, like Elon Musk's "DEI must die" quip, HR leaders across the western world are seeing real cuts to their DEI budgets.
In Episode 4 of series 3, Woosh Raza, director of people, culture and inclusion for the NCVO joins former editor of HR magazine Jo Gallacher to explore why DEI is encountering scepticism, and what HR leaders can do to safeguard their own efforts.
In the podcast, they explore:
- Bringing your whole self vs best self to work
- What HR and DEI professionals can do to keep DEI firmly on the agenda
- Why it may be time to cancel the term DEI
