The Trump administration's move to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts has led to a mixed response from private-sector companies. While many have strategized reductions in DEI initiatives—such as ceasing the use of public representation goals—interest in maintaining investment in DEI programs persists among others. A recent Paradigm survey showed that 39% of employers have altered DEI-related language due to growing polarization. While large organizations are adapting significantly, overall budgets for DEI have remained stable in many companies despite the heightened scrutiny and fear of litigation related to DEI efforts.
39% of companies have also changed the language they use for their programs as the terminology of DEI has grown more polarizing.
On the whole, federal contractors and large companies-those with more than 10,000 employees-appear to be the most likely to make significant changes to their DEI work.
It seems that many companies are continuing to invest in diversity programs, according to a benchmarking survey that culture and inclusion platform Paradigm released today.
Many companies are eliminating representation goals—something that leading tech employers like Meta and Google have already done.
