Diversity training is any program designed to facilitate positive intergroup interaction, reduce prejudice and discrimination, and generally teach individuals who are different from others how to work together effectively.

Yes, and all companies should have to do this, it should be called cultural communication because we all need to learn how to work together to be successful. It should not just focus on what is thought of by “diverse” there is cultural issues that are confusing with different age groups, and different European backgrounds as well
It would make people more successful overall
@9QZGVST9mos9MO
Yes. ALL companies should be REQUIRED. Employees, and especially Human Resources, managers, recruiters, executives, board members, and owners, should all be required to participate in diversity training.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Focus on hiring well-rounded, educated and skilled people of different backgrounds to create a better workplace.
@B3286XS2mos2MO
Yes, but not with those low budget videos. Create actual programs tailored to the workplace that allow for collaboration and celebrate diversity.
@B279XJN4mos4MO
Training should be done when applicable (e.g.: if individual is unfamiliar with customs vs someone who is familiar) and should only be trained by someone who has personal experience by being part of said diverse group if so.
@B22MJBC4mos4MO
No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required, and any employee that commits acts of discrimination should be expelled.
@9YK7T9B6mos6MO
No, but mainly because mandatory diversity training is usually not the most effective way to create a better workplace environment for marginalized groups. Schools should focus on initiatives that bolster connection and open-mindedness in ways that work.

It's none of the government's business how a private company trains staff but the government should diversity train it's government employees. And offer a free quality diversity training program to private businesses. With that said a private business shouldn't be able to refuse service to anyone based on race , gender or sexuality.
