Assessing Your DEI Risk
There has been so much activity in the DEI space that it is challenging to know which path forward is right for your organization. Companies that were quick to retreat from DEI under the new administration are starting to see customer and financial backlash, and a Federal Judge blocked several of the Executive Order provisions in a preliminary injunction. Other aspects of the Orders still stand as of today but many have lawsuits pending.
Through our Risk Assessment Service, we help clients determine the pros, cons, and financial impact of their DEI work including:
The business case for your organization - what benefits have you achieved, are on track to achieve, and what will put them at risk
What elements of the Executive Orders impact you based on your dependence on federal contracts and grants (first tier) or on clients and state or local entities who depend on federal money (second tier)
What aspects of the Executive Orders impact you based on your current programming and policies, and how to pivot to stay in compliance while meeting your organizational goals and the needs of your employees
How effective your communications are, both internally and externally, in managing expectations with employees, partners, clients, and customers during this time of flux
The likelihood of being investigated based on the Executive Orders, and how can you prepare for that proactively
Our Assessment can be a great way to develop a clear plan and build confidence across your Executive Team and Board that you have the current issues well in hand.
