The real problem is the lack of proportions around "viewpoint diversity". A flat earther, a neo-Nazi, an anarchist, a conspiracy theorist have all different viewpoints. But we can't ask people to stop referring to the Earth as flat not to offend flat-Earthers.
And, particularly from the leftwing there is a phenomenon where if you as much as disagree to some minor policy point you become the enemy of the people the same as Hitler.
There is no solution to this conflict, since the very principles that encourage tolerance towards different views is an ideology in itself so you should tolerate that people can be intolerant.
I believe workplaces should just make it clear that the most important thing is to produce good work (a reasonable demand since they pay you) and that any political view should be acceptable if you do your job
