Description: Using qualitative interviews and document analysis, this study examined the strategies of eight cultural diversity training professionals who adopted an anti-racist approach to the design of their corporate sector work. Cultural diversity training and anti racism training have traditionally been conceptualized as two different types of training. The purpose of this study was to examine how cultural diversity training programs for the corporate sector could be designed using an anti-racist approach.The findings show that participants in this study adopted an awareness-based anti-racist approach that was aimed at getting employees to identify how the goals of anti-racism could be achieved within their organizations. The two main strategies the participants used were organizational analysis and 'personalization'. This was done through critical reflection and dialogue. It is hoped that the findings of this study can add to the current scholarship by suggesting alternative approaches for workplace cultural diversity training in the corporate sector.
