Views of DEI programs in the workplace Registered voters are divided over the future of DEI programs in the latest NBC News poll (from March 2025, actually, not the latest) We should continue DEI programs because diverse perspectives reflect our country, create innovative ideas and solutions, encourage unity and make our workplaces fair and inclusive. - 48% We should eliminate DEI programs because they create divisions and inefficiencies in the workplace by putting too much emphasis on race and other social factors over merit, skills and experience. - 49% Notes: The poll was conducted March 7-11, 2025 and surveyed 1,000 registered voters nationally.
