diversity training
Workplace sensitivity education
Diversity training refers to educational programs designed to increase awareness of differences among people—race, gender, sexuality, disability, culture—and promote more inclusive behavior in workplaces or institutions.
The effectiveness of such training is debated; critics argue it can feel performative or coercive, while proponents see it as necessary for addressing bias.
The company required all employees to complete diversity training after the harassment complaint.
