Kanarys

Navigate the Complexities of a Post-Affirmative Action Era in the Workplace

With the Supreme Court's decision overturning affirmative action, Kanarys, an award-winning diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) technology company, is taking proactive steps to ensure organizations can continue their DEIB commitments and progress while remaining mindful of the legal guardrails. The ruling has far-reaching implications that extend beyond higher education and will likely impact public and private sector workplace DEIB initiatives. To help organizations navigate this new landscape, create comprehensive strategies and ensure their DEIB initiatives comply with federal and state laws, Kanarys has partnered with FordHarrison, a top labor and employment law firm, and Project Mockingbird, an industry-leading PR firm that specializes in DEIB communications.
