The Future of DEI in the Private Sector

As diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts face increasing legal and political scrutiny, this session explores the evolving landscape for private sector employers. We’ll examine the implications of recent court decisions, shifting enforcement priorities at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and the legal risks associated with common DEI initiatives—from quota-based goals to employee resource groups (ERGs) and incentive structures. Participants will gain practical, legally grounded guidance for designing inclusive, defensible DEI programs that align with business objectives and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

Unfortunately, organizational practices are often lacking in effective accommodation of neurodivergent employees, and many benefit plans also fail in this regard. Neglecting to incorporate these needs fuels stigma and impacts long-term well-being, workability and productivity.

Neuroinclusive Benefits—How to Better Support Neurodivergence in the Workforce

Benefits are more than a program—They're a powerful message about who we are as employers.

Join us for an inspiring and practical session that reframes benefits as one of the most immediate and visible expressions of respect in the total rewards strategy. This conversation explores how organizations around the world are designing benefit offerings that demonstrate care, equity and trust to meet employees where real life happens.
