Taking a closer look at Diversity Training

In the end, the good ole boy network is prevailing?

We Don't Need No Stinking Diversity Training

It needs to be said: diversity training is futile.

Training like this provides instant gratification for companies
who can declare, Well, alrightee! We’ve
done diversity. That wasn’t so bad. What
it doesn’t deliver is results. Despite the good intentions and assumed good
business sense, diversity training often achieves just the opposite of its intended effect: a
study led by a sociologist at the University of Arizona found that after mandatory
diversity training, representation in upper management dropped for women (7.5 percent), black men (12 percent), and black
women (10%). The Latinos and Asians suffered a similar drop.

Bottom line: stop talking about not tolerating intolerance and just stop
tolerating it.
