BREAKING: President Trump is now outlining how the Federal Aviation Administration's DEI hiring programs may have caused the DCA disaster

"A group within the FAA determined that the workforce was TOO WHITE, then they had concerted efforts to get the administration to change that and to change it immediately."

"Various articles that appeared prior to my entering Office, and here's one. The FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities."

"And then it says, FAA says people with severe disabilities are most underrepresented segment of the workforce and they want them in and they want them. They can be air traffic controllers."

The #DEI pushback has reached the very top. It’ll be interesting to see how the rest of corporate America responds and if/when the same thinking comes to the UK.

OBTAINED FIRST BY @cbsnews’ @kristincbrown: All federal employees in DEI roles have to be placed on paid leave by 5pm Wednesday as those offices and programs are being ordered shut down, according to @USOPM memo.

Interested to hear thoughts on this. Should there at least be a choice for employees? Or is this the right way to go for a company to live their sustainability ambitions everyday?

🔍 New insights on remote work!

A former #Asda boss has sparked debate by saying that working from home is 'not proper work'. Let's dive into the stats and learnings from this bold statement. 🧵

[Ben Read @Ben_Read_]

💰 Employees in the UK, US and Europe suggest workers valued the ability to work from home for two days a week about as much as an 8% pay rise. Perhaps that would be enough to get everyone back to the office.

[Ben Read @Ben_Read_]

📊 Productivity: Studies suggest that remote workers can be just as, if not more, productive than office-based employees. A study by Stanford found a 13% performance increase among remote workers.

💼 Employee Retention: Companies offering remote work options see higher retention rates. Data shows a 25% decrease in employee turnover for firms with flexible work policies.

[Ben Read @Ben_Read_]

🌍 Economic Shifts: The move to remote work has reshaped local economies. Vacant office space has doubled since pandemic, 25% of dry-cleaning businesses have closed, and golf games played during the working week has surged by 350%, indicating some are blending work with leisure.
