NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Building on a trend we’ve seen all throughout Q1 2025, DEI programs are under continued scrutiny. But that doesn’t mean that “diversity at work” initiatives — from pronouns in email signatures to aspirational hiring goals — are to be thrown out the window, according to Chai Feldblum.
The former EEOC commissioner, joined by two attorneys, participated in a virtual webinar for The Employer Handbook, which my colleague Ryan Golden recaps this week. Feldblum’s TLDR? DEI is only a “legal minefield” if you’re not doing it right.
This D&I newsletter also features two explorations of an oft-overlooked aspect of diversity and inclusion: Age and how it factors into intergenerational differences in the workplace.

Diversity, equity and inclusion programs do not pose legal risks when done right, said Chai Feldblum, who decried the idea that DEI is a “legal minefield.”
