Paramount, the parent company of BET and MTV, has announced a significant change in its diversity, equity and inclusion (D.E.I.) strategy. In response to the Trump administration's push to eliminate such initiatives, the company's co-chief executives indicated they will stop utilizing aspirational hiring goals tied to race, ethnicity, sex, or gender. Furthermore, Paramount will cease collecting gender and diversity data from job applicants and remove the D.E.I. component from its employee incentive plan. This move follows similar adjustments made by various other major corporations, raising concerns about the future of diversity programs in corporate America.
"In a note to employees, Paramount's co-chief executives stated they are changing D.E.I. policies to align with the Trump administration’s push to eliminate diversity programs."
