Research: The Most Common DEI Practices Undermine Diversity
- yawpitch 2y agoThose most common counterproductive practices being performance evaluations, diversity and harassment training, and grievance procedures… all of which the paper makes clear is likely because they’re poorly implemented by management that is already non-diverse and has no incentive to actually achieve diversity at all.
- hnthrowaway0328 2y agoI think it would be better if somehow the goverment can take over all those first week trainings (except those tailored to the company). Each training has a 5 year certification so we slaves don't have to do it everytime we switch jobs. Those trainings are most likely for deniability towards future lawsuits anyway.
- yawpitch 2y agoTo be clear the training the paper is talking about is training for managers, rather than general employees. So not really the slaves, but the [still, in the 21st century, usually white and usually male] people with the whips.
- raxxorraxor 2y agoSome "suggestion" I heard are straight from a handbook of bad toxic middle management, like treating people differently so they don't go after your ass. It is either that or extreme naivete that forms these "lessons". To be honest, your focus on skin color isn't really convincing me that there is valuable management knowledge to be gained. It is a perspective of the world that seems limited. I don't believe it to be naivete because there are quite a few DEI managers or hiring firms that might need to go to prison because they scammed others. For a potential employee pronounced DEI policies basically meant that you are dealing with an employer with a strict authoritarian management style.
