Trump's DEI cuts force Davos elite to find new words for diversity
President Donald Trump's escalating pressure on the private sector to ditch diversity programs has left some in Davos searching for new words to describe workplace practices they say are essential to their businesses. Trump has issued a series of executive orders cutting federal diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, which attempt to promote opportunities for women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ people and other traditionally underrepresented groups. He has also sought to dissuade private companies that receive government contracts from factoring underrepresentation into hiring decisions.
