Executive (Dis)Order: What DEI Mandates Mean for You

New executive orders targeting DEI have left organizations scrambling to understand what’s legal, what’s at risk, and how to move forward without jeopardizing their commitments to their employees about inclusion and workplace culture. While some companies are staying the course, others are retooling their strategies—but one thing is clear: language and positioning matter more than ever.

The two federal executive orders issued in January — Executive Order 14151 and Executive Order 14173 — which aim to eliminate "illegal discrimination" have introduced regulatory uncertainty for federal contractors, corporate DEI programs, and internal Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), among others.

So, what should leaders do? Pause, pivot, or press forward?

Join us for this timely conversation with Sandy Harvey, President & Chief Inclusion Strategist of the Exodus Consulting Group and an expert navigating DEI in today’s evolving landscape, and Sonya Sepahban, CEO of OurOffice, Inc., a leading provider of HR technology.
