“Companies who are really leaning into the DEI work regardless of the executive orders, regardless of where our executive branch is taking us or messaging or signaling that they want to take us, those are some of the places that are looking for people like me to say ‘how are we doing this work?’”
Eloiza makes it clear that the value of this work has not disappeared, but you might have to get a little creative.
“Small and medium organizations that have either closed this work, disassembled or eliminated roles, they still want to do this work, but in a different way. So they ask consultants to come in and help them figure that out.”
