Leah Brownlee Taylor, Member of the Firm, co-presents "EEOC Scrutiny of DEI Initiatives: Latest Agency Guidance and Enforcement Trends; Best Practices for Employer Policy Development," a webinar hosted by BARBRI.
Under the Trump administration, the EEOC has taken an anti-DEI stance, releasing guidance documents on what is now considered to be illegal DEI initiatives under Title VII. The agency's recently released strategic enforcement plan includes many DEI-related priorities, and earlier this year, the agency Chair issued a letter to the 500 largest companies in the U.S. warning them of potential Title VII liability that may result from DEI policies or practices and referring back to the guidance documents.
Given the change in agency focus and possibility of enforcement action, counsel should understand the EEOC guidance, enforcement action being taken, and how to help their employer clients review and amend any current policies, including DEI measures, to mitigate the risk of noncompliance.
The panel will provide an in-depth look at the EEOC's guidance on employer DEI initiatives and Title VII compliance, as well as EEOC enforcement activity in the past year under the Trump administration. The panel will also offer best practices for assisting clients with policy review and development to limit the risk of enforcement action.
