Has the corporate pendulum on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) drastically shifted in response to the new administration’s rhetoric? A new study from Littler, a labor-focused law firm, suggests that it has not. In fact, according to their data, just 8% of American C-suite leaders are seriously considering changes to their current DEI policies.

The study, which surveyed nearly 350 C-suite executives across the country, demonstrates that despite a few high-profile DEI reversals, many companies are reluctant to rush out major reforms. Sixty percent of respondents said they would wait for more details on the new administration’s priorities—like enforcement mechanisms—before making changes. What’s more, 49% reported not considering new rollbacks to their DEI programs as a result of the recent executive orders.
