Downturn in DEI Prioritization

We’re seeing more and more companies dismantle their DEI teams, reduce budgets, and deprioritize efforts—and it’s sending a loud message to employees: “This no longer matters.” In this powerful episode of Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita, I break down why this short-sighted shift hurts more than it helps. When DEI is treated as optional, organizations lose trust, morale, and the sense of belonging that fuels high-performing teams.Research shows that companies committed to inclusion are more resilient during tough times, not less.
