    DEI programs are what let the best person for the job be hired

    That’s called meritocracy not DEI though.

        How? Meritocracy means only qualification matters. There’s no Q in DEI but a too much other letters.

          By ensuring there aren’t artificial barriers in place due to a person’s race/gender etc etc. DEI isn’t about being exclusionary - it’s about making sure everyone gets a fair shot and tries to remove the internal biases we all have.

              That’s a good question, you should google DEI practices and what sorts of things organizations do with it. Just one artificial barrier off the top of my head, hiring managers or folks having bias based on race or where a person lives or is from. Having practices that say you have to interview XYZ candidates if they meet certain criteria regardless or having resumes get anonymized for the reviewer, that’s just a couple basic things.
