    DEI during hiring is things like:

    • Making sure job postings are put up in spaces where minority populations have a similar chance to see them as majority populations. I.e. post at HBCU and Women’s colleges’ job boards, not just at the hiring manager’s alma mater.
    • Making sure the application portal is accessible to those with disabilities

    DEI during employment is things like:

    • continuing unconscious bias training
    • educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
    • encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results

    DEI is not (though the right commonly likes to use it this way):

    • A slur for non-white male presenting people
    • A diversity hire
    • A socially acceptable term in lieu of the n-word

      And this right here is why people don’t like it, and how the current administration is able to get away with the stuff they say.
