Creating a Diverse Workforce in a Post-Affirmative Action Era

The indictment

Harm: unleashed new actions to remove race as a factor in hiring, what are you going to do to stop it?

Or to mitigate the negative effects?

In a significant turn of events, the recent Supreme Court decision to reverse affirmative action has raised questions about diversity and inclusion in the tech industry, along with the rest of the world. While this decision presents challenges, it also creates an opportunity for us to reimagine and redefine our approach to creating a diverse workforce. Los Angeles, with its thriving tech industry and the ambitious LA2028 Smart City Initiative, is the perfect setting to lead this change.

Diversity in the workforce brings numerous benefits, including increased innovation, creativity, and improved decision-making. It fosters a culture of inclusion that attracts top talent, boosts employee engagement, and drives overall productivity. By embracing diversity, Los Angeles can position itself as a global leader in the tech industry, ensuring the success of the LA2028 Smart City Initiative and creating a vibrant, forward-thinking ecosystem that reflects the diversity of its population.

Join us in our ongoing discussions with our guest speakers on strategies to counter the anti-affirmative action movement’s aggressive efforts to outlaw diversity and inclusion. For upcoming events and more information from our chapter please visit our website. https://www.bit-la.org.
