This episode of The Employment Law Counselor podcast, in collaboration with the Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS), dives into recent executive orders which end Federal DEI programs and, among other things, encourage private sector employees to end “illegal DEI” programs. Victoria Fuller, Partner and Co-Chair of Labor and Employment Practice Group, and Laura Corvo, Counsel, are joined by Marlena Ellis, Associate, to discuss the implications of those executive orders on employers and offer some best practices employers should implement promptly to manage legal risks while still attracting and retaining high quality employees.
