A New Approach to DEI?

Mar 18, 2025, 1:36 PM

(From Harvard Business Review) The DEI backlash has caused many organizations to rethink their approach, often rebranding and sticking to current initiatives until legally forced to change. However, a new framework — FAIR — is gaining traction as a fresh approach to DEI:

  • Fairness: Ensure policies and practices meet diverse needs while maintaining high standards for all.
  • Access: Remove barriers to participation and design inclusive environments.
  • Inclusion: Create a respectful, valued, and safe environment for all identities and experiences.
  • Representation: Ensure all voices are represented in decision-making and leadership.
