In the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020, organisations faced a reckoning. Acknowledging their shortcomings toward BAME employees, many rushed to adopt Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. But just five years later, major corporations—Meta, Google, Amazon—are leading the charge to scale back these commitments.
The shift raises a stark question: Was DEI ever a genuine commitment, or merely a PR play? If all PR stunts have an expiration date, has DEI’s time simply run out?
