Description
As political backlash reshapes the DEI landscape, companies and investors are struggling to navigate it – and to distinguish meaningful signals from noise. Yet the workers most at risk, including contingent workers, remain invisible in most frameworks. Rights CoLab’s April 2026 report What’s the Matter with DEI? A Reset draws on 741 indicators across 35 frameworks to offer a practical roadmap for meritocratic and resilient workplaces. This delegate-led session shares key findings and creates space for practitioners and investors in the SOCAP community working on overlapping questions to connect and collaborate.
