There have been reports recently about companies moving away from DEI, defunding their programs, laying off DEI teams, etc. We are staying the course. What are you seeing at your organization? Are you staying the course, making changes, or moving away from DEI?

We are staying the course but are more obtaining internal feedback on whether the course is still correct. We don't want to impose on people and in many cases local teams are doing a great job so the global DEI agenda and strategy needs to help the regions with local initiatives, not create more work or new policies that are not fit for purpose. So we are doing course redirection more often now than when we started.Director of HR in Healthcare and Biotecha month ago

We are staying the course. In fact we continue to further embed DEI in our people practices and provide support for more employee engagement.
If you think DEI works, it will; if you don't think DEI will work, it won't.
The Organizations which started DEI efforts out of obligation, PR, or because everyone else is doing it probably aren't getting much out of them because leaders may not actually believe in the benefits or are looking at surface level (or individual) level interventions and not systemic changes.
On the other hand, the orgs who really see the investment as worth it are putting in more effective methods and may even get to the point that a DEI team isn't needed because DEI work is integrated into the organization.
