Walmart Pulls Back on D.E.I. Initiatives Amid Conservative (Republican) Pressure OR Walmart Pushes Forward on D.E.I. Initiatives Amid Liberal (Democrat) Pressure The first headline was published recently in the NY Times. The second you would very likely never see in the Times! These programs were a reaction to Black Lives Matter and Biden’s election in 2020.
“Walmart is cutting its diversity program in a few different ways. To begin with, the company is not expected to renew its commitment to the Center for Racial Equity. This $100 million initiative began in 2020 when DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies gained popularity and became a priority for businesses both big and small. The company has also withdrawn support from a renowned Human Rights Campaign’s annual benchmark index that tracks LGBTQ+ inclusivity.” HR Digest.
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
