The results of this study indicate that, to be effective, diversity training should be integrated with the organization's education and training systems, combined with other diversity initiatives within the organization, and also delivered to all employees including top level managers. Selecting a trainer is a very important decision that can have an impact on the effectiveness of the diversity training. This study found that a clearly focused evaluation plan that includes accountability is a necessity for an effective diversity training program. Other authors have also emphasized the importance of conducting diversity training evaluations. Evaluation brings the organization to a place where it can see its successes and then create a re-vision for the future, with new goals and implementation initiatives.
Evaluation is an on-going process and is critical to the success of any diversity initiative.
According to these authors, without concrete information about a program's strengths, weaknesses, and impacts, it is impossible to improve content and delivery. The findings of this study seem to indicate that diversity training in the future will not be conducted in isolation but more as an essential component of other types of training. However, this does not necessary mean that it will lose its importance. It may lose some of its visibility, but it is likely that it will increase in importance because it will be part of many other types of training programs and strategies. Because of this, it is possible to infer that all organizational trainers will have to be prepared to deal with diversity issues.
