DEI is not a bad word, and as some folks here had predicted, companies are not renaming it and pushing it out with a different name.

The new name is "I&D".

I was able to find several I&D jobs in Linkedin.

Here is one.


Americas Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) Lead

True. My company is renaming to Culture and Inclusion or something silly like that. At least before we could call it DIE

The company i retired from used to make us go [in the early 1990s] to "Understanding Individual Differences" training. Guess what they forced on us.

Idiots & Dumbazzes.

Found a good use of the teams "Pregnant Man" emoji. After me and the squad crash the chipotle.

Have they tried abandoning their horribly racist ideology instead of just rebranding it?

I have acrylic square from the class. All different colored hands except white.

Just like "Global Warming" to "Climate Change". Different wording, same outcome.

Pregnant man is not really pregnant. He just ate a bunch of burritos.

Have to keep changing the name so Libs and freeloaders can keep saying "It doesn't exist! (and if it does, it's a good thing!)"

I&D, Intermediates and Derivatives, how does that relate to DEI?

Libs ain't giving it up without a fight.

"I&D" is the abbreviation for the surgical term "incision & drainage" of pus from an infected abcess. Typical dem opposite day naming as they are attempting to establish the corporate personnel equivalent of an abcess in previously healthy tissue.

Looks like my old company has moved to Culture and Inclusion as well.

We can call it the Cult of Inept.

Several years ago I made the shift from D&I to I&D when talking about inclusion and diversity in the workplace. Both at the office and in my day-to-day life I was hearing heated discussion about nomenclature of inclusion, diversity, and equity. Which of these should be emphasized in mentality and thus operationalization of process, practice and policies for companies striving for growth of inclusion and diversity efforts? Some of the names thrown around included Inclusion & Diversity (I&D), Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), and Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI). The research that I conducted, summarized below, led me to make the transition both in my personal and professional life to use the language "Inclusion & Diversity" when discussing these efforts across the organizations where I work. Since that time I have continued to see a shift in organizations across industries using this updated language.

Why did I and why are many others making this change?

Inclusion and diversity is (as it should be) a top priority for businesses globally with the business case for these efforts easily justified increase in innovation, talent retention, business performance, engagement, and more. The short answer for why I and others are making the change moving towards using "Inclusion and Diversity" versus "Diversity and Inclusion" is that at the forefront of the inclusion and diversity priority is the inclusion of everyone from all backgrounds focusing on building inclusive cultures will ultimately lead to a more diverse workforce which ties back to benefits for both employees and companies.

When we emphasize and prioritize inclusion, then as we highlight and promote diversity, we can help to ensure a safe space where all team members can thrive.

This quote from HBR is helpful and I've linked a full article below if you're interested in learning more. "Part of the problem is that "diversity" and "inclusion" are so often lumped together that they're assumed to be the same thing. But that's just not the case. In the context of the workplace, diversity equals representation. Without inclusion, however, the crucial connections that attract diverse talent, encourage their participation, foster innovation, and lead to business growth won't happen. As noted diversity advocate Vern Myers puts it, "Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance.""

At my current organization we changed the language of materials universally and have asked team members to make this change when talking both internally and externally about Inclusion and Diversity as it relates to our company!

What work is your organization doing to continue to build inclusive spaces for all team members?

Same here. Got the email Monday this week of the change. Half the department was let go and other half is renamed. Sickening.

It was the E of imposed Equity that was the main catch-22 but the whole concept is bad because its weasel-talk for quota systems.

Exactly.

I saw a video where a guy was talking about how every company and agency should have a workforce that looks like all of America. It reminded me of when Bill Clinton made it a point to have all kinds of people in his administration.

I didn't agree with that then and I don't agree with that way of thinking now. The best qualified should get the position period, be that person a straight white male or an LGBTQXYZ African-American female transitioning.

There are two camps and they are getting more extreme.

Covert is getting even more covert

Overt is getting even more overt


Both are extremely funny and entertaining to watch because most people are over and onto both.

They will find a way to keep the grift going. Always about money and power over others.

Also appropriate but this whole movement is absolutely a cult - a dangerous one at that.

Diversity itself is not bad.
Inclusion itself is not bad.
Lowering standards to promote them is the problem.

Equity itself is a horrible utopian concept.

Keep the firings going too.

What is really needed is what is already happening. Far more streamlined and swift booting of those pushing that wokeism. Campuses seem to lag the most on this score of removal going by some threads.

My former company changed DEI to D&I a year ago. The word was that the E was indefensible and left the company open to lawsuits. Of course, Equity should have never been even considered as it is a communist term.

Of course, it is all horse**** and needs to be extracted from society.

So if a company has a Chief Diversity Officer, is not the use of the term "chief" cultural appropriation and itself racist?
