2025 Changes to Federal Hiring

In 2025, President Trump signed executive orders that significantly changed how the federal government and its contractors handle hiring practices and diversity programs. These changes affect businesses working with the government, federal agencies, and employees nationwide. Understanding these new policies is crucial for both employers and employees navigating the evolving workplace landscape.

Key Changes to Federal Hiring and Diversity Policies

  1. Federal Contractors & Job Protections
    One of the executive orders removed previous requirements that obligated companies with federal contracts to consider diversity when hiring. This means businesses working with the government are no longer required to follow certain policies regarding race, gender, or identity in their employment practices.
  2. Government Jobs Based on Merit
    Another order focused on federal hiring by eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within government agencies. Hiring decisions will now be based strictly on skills, qualifications, and merit, rather than DEI considerations.

Implications of These Changes

While these new policies remove diversity-related hiring obligations, existing federal laws prohibiting workplace discrimination remain in effect. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other anti-discrimination laws continue to protect employees from discrimination based on race, gender, and other protected characteristics. Employers must still comply with these laws while adapting to the new hiring landscape.

What This Means for Employers and Employees

  • Employers working with the federal government must adjust their hiring practices to align with the new merit-based approach.
  • Federal employees may see changes in workplace initiatives previously centered around DEI programs.
  • Employees should be aware of their rights under existing employment laws, as workplace protections against discrimination remain in place.

Stay Informed and Protect Your Rights

If you have questions about how these changes impact your business or employment, consulting a legal professional is the best course of action.

Schedule a strategy session with MontanaroLaw today by calling 516-203-1700. Our legal team is here to help you navigate these evolving policies and ensure compliance with all applicable laws.
