The number of federal Executive Orders issued by the president since Jan. 20 has created confusion for some business owners. Host Gene Marks moderated a webinar that produced additional questions from attendees, so he’s using this episode of the podcast to offer clarification as well as his own take around the EOs on DEI. He talks about job postings, preferred gender pronouns on websites and in other company communications, “gender vs. sex”, the exclusion of impact on veterans, how these might affect EEO-1 reporting, and more.
