How execs are handling DE&I, RTO, and hiring in 2025

A data dive into what execs across the nation are keeping, cutting, and communicating in the year ahead — and what will keep employees in-seat

2025 is a unique year

Across the country...

  • DE&I is faltering.
  • Return to Office is everywhere.
  • Politics are exhausting people.
  • Hiring is rebounding, albeit unevenly.

To better understand what’s going on — and to help executives feel more comfortable being candid about their plans — we surveyed 457 executives across the country and dug into some of the:

  • Challenges they’re facing
  • Plans their organization has
  • Political unknowns they’re watching.

We also surveyed 831 knowledge workers to get their take on similar topics — and what leaders could do to keep them in place.
