JPMorgan Rebrands DEI as DOI

 JPMorgan Chase is making a strategic shift in its diversity efforts, renaming its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program to Diversity, Opportunity, and Inclusion (DOI). The change, outlined in an internal memo, swaps “equity” for “opportunity,” aligning with the bank’s emphasis on merit-based hiring and career advancement.

As part of this transition, some DEI programs will now fall under other departments, such as HR and corporate responsibility, while training initiatives will be scaled back. However, employee resource groups will remain, continuing to foster engagement, cultural recognition, education, and historical awareness, according to Chief Operating Officer Jenn Piepszak.

Piepszak explained that JPMorgan always viewed “equity” as ensuring equal opportunities, not equal outcomes. She emphasized that the revised approach better reflects the company’s commitment to reaching a broad client base, fostering an inclusive workplace, and expanding access to opportunities.

The move comes amid growing scrutiny of DEI programs. At the World Economic Forum in January, CEO Jamie Dimon strongly defended the bank’s initiatives, challenging critics with a bold “bring them on.” However, in today’s shifting political climate, many companies are reevaluating their DEI strategies. A recent Littler survey found that 53% of C-suite executives plan to scale back DEI commitments in 2025, a 15-point increase from pre-inauguration polling.

Over Half of Workers Skip Salary Negotiations, Survey Says

Now, this percentage isn’t set in stone across the board. It fluctuates depending on your industry and age, but one interesting tidbit is that it’s the same for both men and women. So, salary discussions know no gender boundaries, it seems. The Glassdoor Economic Research Team pointed out that even though salary negotiation is a hot topic among professionals, it’s a bit tricky to gauge who’s taking the plunge and who’s staying put.

Meta Rehires Employees Post Layoffs, Initiates Efforts to Improve Morale

Image
  Meta, the parent company of Facebook, recently made headlines for welcoming back employees who were previously laid off during substantial job cuts. Last year, Meta underwent its largest reduction in workforce, affecting 13% (over 11,000 employees). This was followed by another round of layoffs earlier this year, part of their “Year of Efficiency” vision, resulting in a total of 25% of the workforce being affected. However, reports from Insider and Bloomberg indicate that Meta has begun rehiring some of the employees previously let go. According to Bloomberg, the tech giant has initiated the rehiring process for some of the previously laid-off workers, as confirmed by anonymous Meta employees. Insider further specified that rehiring of laid-off staff began “mostly since June,” with former employees who were cut as early as the November layoffs being invited to reapply through an “alumni portal.” For more details please visit our website - https://www.hroutlook.com/2025/01/13/meta...
