Should companies be allowed to require mandatory diversity training for employees?

Yes, I personally don’t agree with mandatory training but it’s their free speech.

 @BD2FTK6answered…1mo1MO

Yes, if the company wishes to do so it should be their right.

 @BCVXRBDanswered…2mos2MO

No, but only because of monetary costs.

 @B588Q4Yanswered…1yr1Y

No, not mandated and if done, should be presented positively, with neutrality in the workplace instead of imposed adoption/compliance/agreement.

 @B57NYYHanswered…1yr1Y

Yes; an individual company should be allowed to require employees to undergo any, ethical, diversity training program designed to reduce prejudice and discrimination, and facilitate unity, acceptance, and positive intergroup relations, for a healthier, safer and thus more productive workplace.

Yes, but if it is based on respectful integration or genuine inclusion and not inclusion for inclusions sake
