HRMAC Digital Event Program - Executives’ Club of Chicago

Thank you for joining us!

The Supreme Court’s decision to end Affirmative Action in higher education has had an immediate impact. It has also led many to question what this could potentially mean for the world of HR and the future of diversity in the workforce.

What impact will the decision have on HR practices? Will organizations need to develop new talent pipelines? Are there other court cases that could impact talent recruitment and diversity initiatives? HR and DEIA professionals will need to decide how to answer these questions and more if they want to stay competitive in the search for talent.

Join our panel of experts as they address questions surrounding how the recent Supreme Court decision could impact HR and DEIA practices.
