In this podcast, shareholders Nonnie Shivers (Phoenix) and Scott Kelly (Birmingham) discuss the complexities of participating in and/or sponsoring cultural events that celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in light of the current administration’s scrutiny of such programs. Using Pride Month as a focal point, Scott and Nonnie—who co-chairs the firm’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Compliance Practice Group—review the legalities and risks associated with these events. They also offer strategies for employers to balance celebration, education, and compliance while fostering an inclusive workplace.
