Illustration with the message Let’s level the playing field with better feedback. The trump anti-DEI order doesn’t prohibit giving fair and effective feedback, nor should it.

Along the bottom of the graphic is the @BetterAllies handle and credit to @ninalimpi for the illustration.

"The Trump anti-DEI order doesn’t prohibit this, nor should it: Shifting from vague, unstructured evaluations resulted on average in 50% more evidence-based and 20% more action-oriented feedback *to all groups of employees*” - Vernā Myers & Joan C. Williams
