  • Summary

  • In this episode, Wendy Sellers, The HR lady, delves into the recent announcements from the White House that could significantly impact HR operations. She clarifies the distinction between affirmative action and broader Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, debunking the misconception that diversity initiatives are banned.

    Exploring the changes in government policy, Wendy explains the revocation of an executive order from 1965 concerning federal contractors and affirmative action. Despite these shifts, key laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act remain unchanged, ensuring protection against employment discrimination.

    Wendy emphasizes the importance of fostering inclusive environments through DEI, focusing on skill development, unbiased hiring practices, and supportive work environments. She highlights that discrimination based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity is still unlawful, regardless of political opinions.

    Stay updated with Wendy as she continues to unravel the complexities of recent legislative updates affecting the workplace.
