What Employers Need to Know About DEI Changes in the Workplace

Promote or hire based on merit and the specific skills and qualifications for the role, avoid demographic quotas or targets, and ensure policies reflect merit-based criteria to stay compliant with federal and state expectations.
What Employers Need to Know About DEI Changes in the Workplace
Q: So Ward, didn't we talk about this at the end of last year?

Self-Awareness – A Leader’s Secret Superpower
Q: What can individuals do to cultivate self-awareness in daily work life, especially in leadership roles?
She outlines a progression from intentional self-reflection to real-time self-awareness to self-management, plus practical practices like journaling, weekly check-ins, and clear I-statements to communicate impact and boundaries.
Self-Awareness – A Leader’s Secret Superpower
Q: So do you think that for supervisors, this is something where it's like, you know, almost like sweep your own doorstep before you sweep others?
