The article addresses the complex considerations surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work on resumes amid shifting political climates. It references President Trump's recent executive orders targeting DEI initiatives as well as the Supreme Court's decision on affirmative action, which have prompted many companies to scale back or rename their diversity programs. Despite the temptation to downplay or omit DEI work from resumes due to these changes, the article emphasizes the importance of integrity and the value of DEI efforts for employee welfare and organizational success.
Leaving off your work on an employee resource group, for example, may feel more like a borderline omission.
In this climate, I understand the inclination to remove or downplay your DEI work on your résumé if you are looking for a job.
The moral imperative to stand behind this important work, it's just never a good idea to lie on your résumé.
I would never advise anyone to downplay their DEI work on their résumé.
