Corporate DEI: What to expect in 2025 with the new Trump administration
- Walmart, Boeing, Ford and Lowe’s are among the companies that have eliminated or scaled back their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the face of pressure from anti-DEI activists.
- President-elect Trump returning to the White House soon, challenges to corporate DEI efforts are expected to continue rising in 2025, according to trend-watching experts.
- Chief diversity officers expect increased pushback on their organizations’ DEI plans and strategies from external anti-DEI activists in the New Year, according to an i4cp report.
- However, 57% of chief diversity officers report their DEI budgets will not change in 2025 and 29% expect their DEI budgets to increase.
- Experts also predict that roles and communications efforts will shift for DEI professionals in 2025.
- Angeles Martinez Valenciano, CEO of the Texas Diversity Council, said DEI leaders will be shifting from diversity advocates to DEI business strategists and leaders should connect diversity, inclusion and equity efforts to data that impacts the business.
- In addition, AI will play a growing and crucial role in DEI in 2025, both experts say. Valenciano expects HR leaders to rely on AI-assisted tools to gather data that will illuminate the impact of their DEI initiatives.
- As more organizations dismantle DEI initiatives, some HR leaders likely will see remaining diversity programs shift into their departments, experts predict.

Uncle Owen, This R2 Unit Has a Bad Motivator!
- The throwaway line from Star Wars that has carried me through so many things I didn't feel like doing is 'Uncle Owen, this R2 unit has a bad motivator!'.
- Software Developers are the most motivated and go-getting individuals, so it should raise alarm bells if a group of software developers are listless and disengaged.
- There are many things that can cause devs to have a bad motivator, such as excessive approval gates that slow the process down.
- Another thing that can impact developers' motivation is unexplained rules or policies, as it feels petty.
- Meeting culture also plays a significant role in developers' motivation, as they often have work that requires deep focus and uninterrupted time.
- Lastly, it's essential to be sincere about appreciation and acknowledge the team's hard work.
- Innovation may suffer if management comes in and eliminates the benefits of a new solution.
- A lack of motivation is a symptom of a problem, and fixing these demotivators will take time to earn back trust and motivation.

How to Use the Pomodoro Technique for Productivity?
- The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method created in the late 1980s by Francesco Cirillo where you work on a single task for 25 minutes, called a “Pomodoro,” followed by a 5-minute break and a 20-30 minute break after completing four Pomodoros.
- Psychological research suggests that 25 minutes is the sweet spot for human concentration as it is enough to make meaningful progress but short enough to prevent mental fatigue.
- To implement the technique, you must first prepare the task list, set up your workspace by clearing potential distractions and avoiding unwanted interruptions.
- After setting the timer for 25 minutes, you must focus on the selected task without checking emails, messages, or social media. If an unexpected thought occurs, note it down on paper, and return to the primary task.
- Use the 5-minute break to recover physically, mentally, and psychologically before starting another Pomodoro. After completing four Pomodoros, take a 20-30 minute break to disconnect from work and engage in activities that help relax and unwind.
- Using a physical or Pomodoro tracker and logging completed Pomodoros and tasks accomplished can help increase productivity. Customizing the technique based on personal observations, experimenting with interval lengths, and adapting to energy levels while maintaining core principles can also make the most of the Pomodoro Technique.
- Handling interruptions is the key to focus on productivity with the Pomodoro technique. External and internal interruptions can be managed by communicating the focus time to colleagues, using “do not disturb” signals, scheduling Pomodoro sessions during less collaborative periods, and practicing mindfulness techniques.
- The Pomodoro Technique can be effective for knowledge workers, creative professionals, technical roles and those involved in research-intensive tasks such as writing, coding, content creation, system administration among others.
- By embracing the Pomodoro Technique as a journey of professional and personal growth that is flexible and customized, professionals can transform their work approach, prioritize both productivity and well-being, and continuously refine their approach.
- Overall, you can use the Pomodoro technique as an effective strategy to manage time, increase productivity and also to improve the quality of your day to day life.

- The research aimed to address the debate regarding whether US accounting firms were hiring H-1B visa workers due to a shortage of domestic talent or to save on wages.
- The power imbalance created by workers dependent on companies for their H-1B visas potentially limits their ability to negotiate pay or benefits.
