Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. has announced the cancellation of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) department and sponsorship of WorldPride 2025, attributed to recent executive orders reshaping compliance standards. The company's Chief People Officer noted that failing to adapt could jeopardize their eligibility for government contracts. Additionally, employees are now restricted from using pronouns or facilities that differ from their birth-assigned sex, reflecting broader changes in federal policies that affect corporate practices regarding diversity and inclusion.
"While our existing people programs comply with law, it is clear from these executive orders and other public statements, that the definition of what's allowed is changing, so we must make changes," Chief People Officer Aimee George Leary said during a virtual company town hall viewed by the outlet.
"Booz Allen is also banning its employees from using pronouns or bathrooms that do not align with their assigned sex at birth if those are the rules of the government agency where they are assigned."
