Redesigning DEI Reporting: How Organizations Are Reframing Metrics Amid Political & Legal Headwinds

Peer intelligence sourced from diversity, equity, and inclusion leaders at the world's largest companies, through the DEI Board.

Today, the traditional transparency-first approach to DEI reporting is changing. Political scrutiny, regulatory uncertainty, and cultural headwinds are forcing leaders to adjust how they measure, analyze, and communicate progress.

This guide brings together insights from senior DEI leaders on collecting and reporting on DEI data, metrics, and accountability in an era of regulatory uncertainty.

Inside you’ll discover how DEI leaders are:

  • Building legal-first data architectures that balance compliance, privacy, and employee trust.
  • Shifting to business-aligned metrics that demonstrate DEI’s impact on performance, retention, and employee experience.
  • Leveraging sentiment-driven analytics to capture belonging and lived experience beyond demographics.
  • Adapting self-ID strategies to encourage voluntary disclosure through trust and peer networks rather than mass campaigns.
  • Prioritizing process-focused accountability that emphasizes inclusive practices over outcome quotas.
