How Can Multinational Employers Straddle Increasingly Divergent DEI Standards Between the U.S. and the Rest of the World?

While recent U.S. laws have compelled employers to retreat from DEI measures, laws in jurisdictions outside the United States—such as in the E.U.—mandate that employers lean into such measures. For global employers with both U.S. and non-U.S. workers, this policy divergence presents a conundrum. Straddling this divergence makes a “global” DEI approach almost impossible and instead requires a careful strategic approach that ensures that “pro-DEI” local laws are complied with, while also not running afoul of the charge of “illegal DEI” under U.S. law.

This webinar will provide an overview of this divergent legal landscape and discuss how to chart this careful strategic approach!
