What's next for corporate DEI under the Trump administration? APCO's post-election analysis delves into the potential challenges and opportunities for corporate DEI in light of President-elect Trump's return to the White House. The incoming administration can be expected to take swift action in its first 100 days via executive order to reinstate Trump-era policies related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and rescind Biden administration executive actions. Corporations will need to balance a more combative legislative environment and a more polarized advocacy landscape with employee and customer bases that remain generally supportive of most DEI practices. How to Prepare and Engage During Transition: • Center employees, adopt a deliberate approach and think inclusively about inclusion. Corporations should ensure that diversity and inclusion programs and messages reflect the experiences and views of all employees. • Listen carefully. Corporations should continue to invest in employee resource groups (ERGs) and/or affinity groups, leveraging internal channels to monitor employee activism and emerging issues. • Review external messaging and consider a broad view of scenario planning. Corporations should prepare for policy and advocacy scenarios specific to DEI and adjacent issues, such as immigration, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ issues and other policies related to diverse communities. • Take the long view. Smart, consistent, values-backed communication keeps companies steady while the waters are deepening and becoming rougher. • Build license to engage by owning the ownable and mitigating risk around the rest. The companies that best weather the complex external environment have invested in clear, consistent and visible points of view on issues that are deeply aligned with their business and people.
