The Trump administration sent an email to thousands of federal employees on Wednesday, demanding they report any diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that may be disguised under other terminologies within their agencies.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The scrutiny being placed on DEI programs within federal agencies highlights the tension between transparency and the ongoing need for inclusive practices. From a tech perspective, it’s crucial that the systems in place allow for accurate reporting without stifling the innovative ways that diversity can be supported through technology and inclusive practice initiatives. It would be beneficial for the administration to use technology effectively for more transparent and efficient reporting without inadvertently discouraging the very initiatives that promote a diverse and inclusive workplace.
