In 2021, President Joe Biden signed an executive order directing a comprehensive reimagining of how the federal government encourages diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility among the federal workforce. The phrase "diversity, equity, inclusion and inclusion" is often misunderstood, but the Biden order brings forward policy and establishes pathways for DEIA goals to be achieved at agencies.

As part of Government Executive's State of the Federal Workforce event recently,I spoke to Dr. Janice Underwood, Director of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility at the Office of Personnel Management. In this episode, you'll hear a conversation about the ways that the federal government is implementing the Biden EO on diversity, equity and inclusion.
