“Diversity Training Sucks”: How to Overcome Apathy and Skepticism to Your Diversity Initiatives
45-minute keynote address
or
60-minute presentation followed by 30 minutes of facilitated discussion
You hear groans of exasperation as soon as you hit send on an email announcing a mandatory diversity training session. You see employees of color rolling their eyes at the ethnic foods potluck you’ve arranged to celebrate Diversity Week. Your CEO hasn’t shown up to a single diversity council meeting. But don’t give up yet! You can redesign your programs to overcome apathy and skepticism. This workshop will reveal why many employees — both white and non-white — are deeply distrustful of corporate diversity initiatives, and will teach you how to redesign your programs to overcome apathy and skepticism.
