Hi there,

It’s a confusing moment for anyone working in the DEI space. With new political pressure, shifting legal guidance, and inflammatory headlines, many leaders are asking: What are other companies actually doing right now?

To find out, Paradigm surveyed senior leaders from 443 organizations across industries and sizes. Their just-released 2025 DEI Benchmarking Study reveals what’s shifting, what’s staying the same, and how forward-looking companies are evolving their strategies to be more resilient and impactful.

Inside the report, you’ll learn:

• Which DEI programs are most at risk, and which remain widely adopted
• How companies are adjusting language, goals, and team structure
• What high-performing organizations are doing to embed inclusion into talent practices
• How company size and federal contractor status shape strategic decisions

Read the full study to see where your organization stands—and where the field is headed.

Whether you’re recalibrating your strategy or looking to stay ahead of the curve, this data offers a clear and grounded picture of how leading organizations are navigating the moment.
