Not only is it important to implement diversity, but it is more important to make a profitable match between the work, the organization, and the specific job. By doing this effectively the business will benefit, because it has discovered the value of a diverse workforce. 10 Reasons Diversity Training Fails 1. Diversity training must come from the whole organization through a diversity steering committee made up of employees from a representative cross-section of the organization. The organization does not understand the connection between diversity and the bottom line.
Training is all the organization is doing.
The organization is not reviewing or scrutinizing their hiring, promotion, leadership development, and business practices. The diversity training has management s support, but not their commitment. Management s lack of participation is all the evidence the rest of the organization needs to resent the training and consider it the next fad. The training fails because participants were not engaged, not interested, and did not find the training practical, pertinent and compelling. Training is being developed and led solely by external diversity consultants and trainers.
