DEI Policies

Employee: HR IF YOU ARE READING THIS EMPLOYEES HAVE CONCERNS!: Bath and body works has always been a very inclusive and welcoming place to work. I haven’t been in a store that doesn’t have queer, trans, and POC associates filling up the place, heck they have nametags for us that let us out our pronouns on them! But I am starting to worry on where their stance is. For the last what 4 years we’ve always had a trailblazer table. Especially black history month since George Floyd and the riots. And now here we are about to go into Feb with no black history month table? I find it strange the company has been so silent on their DEI stance with this new administration in office. It raises a warning flag cause after Roe v. Wade was overturned they put out a statement making it clear they’d help cover costs for their employees living in red states to get reproductive health care. Now with all these companies pulling back on their DEI and they are silent it makes many of us employees worried. We want answers. Why no black history month table, are we gunna get the other trailblazer tables? Pride table? Why are you being so quiet on your stance on DEI. As a company if you plan to keep your DEI policies in place why not say it? Being quiet makes it feel like you are gunna pull them back or afraid to loose business because you say you’re supportive. Especially as one of your many Queer non-binary associates we would like to hear from you as a company.
