As a follow-up to the popular webinar this McCarter team presented last July regarding the impact of the Supreme Court's decision invalidating the use of race in college admissions (SFFA v. Harvard; SFFA v. University of North Carolina), now we ask:
Can employers "WELCOME" the following in one
set of policies?
all races and ethnicities
all religions
all countries of origin
all gender identities
all sexual orientations
all abilities and disabilities
all spoken languages
all ages
Corporate DEI policies and practices have come under increasing scrutiny by people and organizations who believe the policies have gone too far. Headline-grabbing "reverse discrimination" lawsuits have resulted in eye-popping verdicts; Fortune 500 companies and law firms have been sued, and more lawsuits will likely follow in 2024.
Properly harnessed and managed, diverse teams can accomplish things that homogenous teams cannot; at the same time increased diversity also presents challenges for employers. Now, businesses may be called on more frequently to justify their DEI programs in court and public opinion.
Employers have an opportunity to adjust and recraft their DEI policies to be more effective and at the same time protect themselves from claims that such programs violate the law.
Join us for this important learning CLE program about how as US society and US workforces becomes more diverse, organizations can address how to best operate in the increasingly diverse ecosystem.
