Continuing our series on the recent DEI EOs from President Trump we recognize that in addition to the DEI mandates, these EOs also recognize only two genders—male and female— therefore it's crucial to understand the implications for workplace inclusion and gender pay equity. These policy shifts may significantly impact organizational strategies aimed at fostering inclusive environments and ensuring fair compensation across genders.
Join us for an insightful webinar featuring three experts from SHRM and a leading employment law expert as they delve into the nuances of these executive orders. The discussion will focus on promoting inclusion through the lens of gender, analyzing how the new directives affect pay equity initiatives, and exploring strategies to navigate these changes while maintaining a commitment to diversity and inclusion for all employees – men and women – taking into the account the positive realities that men and women are different.
Key Takeaways:
- An overview of the recent executive orders and their specific provisions related to gender recognition and DEI programs.
- Insights into the potential effects on gender pay equity and broader gender-related workplace issues.
- Practical guidance on adapting organizational policies to comply with new regulations while upholding principles of inclusion and equity.
