Here at DMI we are so saddened by the tragic loss of life in the airplane crash in Washington. But I’m also horrified that Trump has weaponised this tragedy to demonise diversity hiring.

As a white(well orange really 😂) rich man he is appealing to the sensibilities of his fellow white men who feel aggrieved by EDI strategies as they view them unfair.

Because they disrupt the status quo of the “ideal worker” to make it fairer for those who don’t fit this “ideal worker” (ie white, male, non-disabled) to get a chance to enter professions that previously were ruled by systemically racist, sexist and ableist policies.

Despite the fact there is a huge wealth of data to show that diverse teams are more productive and innovative, Trump wants to role back all the progress made in EDI and THAT is also a tragedy.

We stand with EDI/DEI/DEIB initiatives as being critical for a fairer, more productive and more innovative society.

Over the other side of the pond there has been a rolling back of EDI initiatives in the US by President Trump.

We feel strongly that this is a mistake by Trump and an oversight of the benefits EDI bring to the economy.

To highlight this, and to encourage the UK to keep this high up on the agenda we are going to share a number of polls and posts to keep discussions going on the benefits of EDI.

Please follow our page to keep the conversative going!
