Considering the recent DE&I EOs, this is a pivotal moment, and I know many of you are grappling with tough questions: What’s legal? What’s not? How can you continue fostering inclusion while remaining compliant with these changes? Since the labor pool is diverse, how do you legally reflect the same in your workforce? How can you focus on women without excluding men? SHRM’s Linkage is your partner to navigate this shifting landscape while staying aligned with your organization’s values. Next up, I’m co-hosting a webinar next Wednesday, February 5th, at 1 PM EST with Anuradha Hebbar, J.D., CEO, SHRM CEO Action for Inclusion & Diversity. Join us as we discuss gender and inclusion in the workplace, and how you can take immediate steps to ensure progress while staying compliant under the EOs: https://shrm.co/co1zx7 #SHRM #WorkplaceInclusion #Compliance
