UNHINGED SESSION: Is DEI dead? – Is the corporate tide changing tact to move away from DEI commitments?

Workplace Leaders Summit
With a growing movement from large corporations to denounce their DEI practices we ask; is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Facilities Management a driving force for change or an initiative past its prime? In this bold discussion, we explore whether DEI has lost its momentum in the FM and property sectors. Is it still a priority, or has it been overshadowed by shifting agendas and budget cuts? This session doesn’t shy away from controversy—uncover the truth behind the rhetoric, question the status quo, and hear from voices across the industry. Join us to challenge assumptions and debate whether DEI in FM is thriving, struggling, or in need of a complete reinvention.
