Diversity policies face ‘full-out attack’ in 2024, leading HR boss warns

President of the largest human resources organization in country says national shift following George Floyd's 2020 murder is fading

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies within US companies will come under full-out attack in 2024", the president of the largest US human resources organization in the US has said.

It's going to become a hot-button issue this year," Johnny C Taylor Jr, president and chief executive of the Society of Human Resource Management, told reporters. The national shift to be more inclusive that followed the murder of George Floyd in 2020, and the Black Lives Matter protests that followed, is already fading, he said. We're already seeing companies go away from it."
