The legal and regulatory landscape around workplace DEI programs has shifted rapidly, and HR leaders are being asked to defend practices that were standard just a few years ago. In this session, David Cohen cuts through the noise to give a breakdown of what current federal enforcement priorities actually target, where the real legal exposure lies versus where the fear outpaces the law, and what a defensible, compliant program looks like in practice. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for auditing existing DEI initiatives, documentation and communication strategies that reduce risk, and language to help leadership teams distinguish between programs that need to change and programs that are being mischaracterized. Designed for HR executives, legal and compliance partners, and DEI practitioners navigating a landscape where the rules keep moving.
