Employers are growing concerned about lawsuits amid crackdowns
Story by Andy Medici • 9h

Company leaders are having to navigate a complex regulatory landscape as state and federal regulations diverge on key employment issues.
The Trump administration’s push to end diversity, equity and inclusion efforts within the federal government — and the pressure it's exerted on others to do so as well — has left employers feeling vulnerable to lawsuits.

That’s according to the 13th annual Employer Survey by Littler, an employment and labor law practice representing management. The survey found 85% of employers say changes to workplace regulations and policies around diversity will impact their business in 2025, with 75% saying immigration regulation changes will impact them and 58% saying changes in LGBT protections will impact them.
 
About 63% of employers are worried about discrimination and harassment claims, a share that's unchanged from 2024 but up from 58% who said the same in 2023. However, the share of employers worried about lawsuits related to DEI practices soared to 45% in 2025 — up from 24% in 2024 and 22% in 2023.

The sentiments come on the heels of executive orders from the Trump administration targeting DEI programs within the federal government as well as contractors and grant recipients. President Donald Trump's White House has also targeted law firms and colleges and universities.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Don't base programs on racial, gender, or sexual identity.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
