In light of President Trump’s new executive order urging a halt to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, experts warn that companies could face more lawsuits related to discrimination. Although some businesses have already begun scaling back DEI initiatives, policies that promote equal opportunities, like pay audits and fair recruitment, are crucial for compliance with anti-discrimination laws. Without these measures, companies could unintentionally violate federal and state laws, resulting in more legal challenges from employees, particularly women, people of color, and LGBTQ workers.
