This is the first in a series of PCI podcasts “Tracking Changes with the New Administration to Help You Manage Contracts and Grants.” In this episode, PilieroMazza’s Nichole Atallah and Forvis Mazars‘ Bill Walter discuss evolving affirmative action and DEI requirements, enforcement of the Trump administration’s DEI Executive Orders, and what government contractors should do to ensure compliance with the administration’s rules. Primarily, contractors should evaluate their policies and procedures for hiring, promotion, and retention for federal law compliance and carefully review the certification required by an agency.
