the workplace are beginning to shy away from DEI.

The world’s biggest human resources association dropped “equity” from its main
diversity program, drawing anger from hundreds of talent managers online with

“I&D” — or inclusion and diversity — and removing the “E” from its previous
“IE&D” strategy.
