Navigate change with Traliant
The latest federal guidance has many organizations asking, “What now?”
Between the January 2025 executive orders on DEI and Gender Identity and the March 2025 guidance from the EEOC and DOJ, many employers are left wondering how this impacts their training programs.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The orders do not create new laws or change existing legal compliance requirements.
- DEI programs and training aren’t banned, but practices reflecting unlawful discriminatory preferences are under scrutiny.
- The Gender Identity order defines “sex” as biological – a position that conflicts with existing federal law.
- Employers can and should continue offering harassment and inclusion training.
At Traliant, our in-house legal and compliance experts have reviewed these changes to ensure our training remains legally sound, up to date, and compliant.
When the rules keep changing, it helps to have a trusted partner. We’re here to help you stay ahead – and keep your training aligned with the law.
