Discrimination, Harassment, and the Failure of Diversity Training
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Unlike many recent attacks on diversity training and multicultural awareness workshops, Hemphill and Haines have no philosophical dispute with the intent or goals of such programs. Their concern is simple. Corporate diversity training programs do not work, they say. In fact, in cases the two have documented, problems of greater divisiveness, backlash, and litigation have resulted.... They argue that rather than focus on changing values and attitudes, companies can and should mandate appropriate workplace behavior.”–
“...I recommend the book to those involved in EEO, including corporate legal staff and those concerned with training evaluation. Organizations need to assess areas of vulnerability and exposure to litigation. If the emperor indeed has no clothes, now is the time to recognize it....HR practitioners should be knowledgeable consumers of diversity training. This book will help by providing hard questions to ask whenever one considers attending or sponsoring diversity training.”–
“This text will likely be of interest to practitioners who are seeking insights into the dynamics of discrimination and harassment in the workplace, especially to those responsible for developing and implementing employment training programs.”–
Book Description
Billions of dollars have been spent on the wrong solution to the complex, sensitive and emotionally charged issue of discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Companies originally invested in diversity training in order to meet Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, to reduce litigation costs, and to buy social peace. The result was often more social conflict--divisiveness, hostility, backlash, and an increase in litigation. Hemphill and Haines offer a new, simple and effective solution that includes the need to: establish, publish and enforce a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination and harassment; develop standards which define unacceptable professional workplace behaviors; and provide the relationship skills training necessary for all employees to meet the company's behavioral standards. For all business executives, leaders, managers, supervisors, human resource specialists, trainers, consultants, entrepreneurs, and employees.
