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. On April 22, 2022, Florida Governor DeSantis signed into law the “Individual Freedom Act.” The bill prohibited schools and companies from mandating diversity training as a requirement for attendance or employment.

Look at the UK, US and especially California. These are just diversity disasters. It’s just another money making scheme and divides more than it does good and costs tax payers and businesses billions. Stop dividing people into categories. performance should be the only criteria an any organisation. If ppl need training on how to respect others, follow org values and rules and/or follow the law of the land then fire them. It’s not rocket science.

Diversity training is an unverified method of education pushed by politics rather than evidence. Enforcing diversity training ironically will lead to a lack of diversity in available opinions as everyone becomes homogenous in thought.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Yes, and all companies should require mandatory diversity training
@B4WJ5STIndependent9hrs9H
helps prevent accidental, intentional/non intentional microaggressions and creates/fosters a safe space and open environment
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required
@B435QT71mo1MO
Our country is a multicultural place, and it is very important to have employee diversity training to help prevent racism as much as possible.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Yes, and immediately expel any employees that commit acts of discrimination
@B4QDYD9 1wk1W
Expelling employees without properly educating them on how their acts were discriminatory is counter-productive and doesn't help prevent acts of discrimination.
@B2KCNCB3mos3MO
As a grown freaking adult in the work force, if they are not already educated on the social issues that minorities face and perpetuate violence and stereotypes against them they should be immediately sacked. It is not a companies job to teach morality, and they should want to hire and keep on employees who already have the moral upstanding to not be a bigot.
@9SYC4SQ8mos8MO
Ban corporations. Small businesses (for now until the revolution or reform) are encouraged to implement mandatory diversity training, but the diversity education should be primarily from schools and families with government supervision.
@9RZB32YDavid Pocock9mos9MO
Yes, but if it is based on respectful integration or genuine inclusion and not inclusion for inclusions sake
no but companies should be strict in holding employees accountable for discriminatory action
@9LXVFS812mos12MO
Diversity training should be encouraged, not required.
@9J2PTNS1yr1Y
They can do it if they want but it shouldn't be required by law
@9F9CM9C2yrs2Y
i support the pirate party
@9FYHML62yrs2Y
I depends which type of company, mostly yes though.
@99M5L862yrs2Y
I don't think it is too important, and that it should be only mandatory for those companies that it is relevant for.
@9BJBT222yrs2Y
No, diversity training as it is now is sometimes ineffective. Effective methods should be established first.
