BT plans to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) metrics from the bonus calculations for middle managers, affecting about 37,000 individuals. This decision, made shortly after CEO Allison Kirkby criticized companies retracting inclusivity commitments, leaves DEI metrics only applicable to the top 550 leaders. Despite ensuring progress towards gender, ethnicity, and disability representation goals, critics worry that the change may weaken the drive for inclusive workplaces. The issue echoes broader trends in corporate America, where companies like Google are reassessing their DEI policies amid legal and political challenges.
