But that's because it's not being done right, say veteran diversity consultants James O. Rodgers and Laura Kangas. Too many organizations are treating diversity training as a quick-hit, low-cost, check-the-box activity.Effective diversity training involves behavioral change based on adult learning theory. It is rigorous, deeply personal, experience based, and, if done well, life changing. Rodgers and Kangas offer a complete guide, from design to implementation to results. They show how todetermine what specific, tangible outcomes an organization wants before it startslink diversity training to overall organizational strategyhelp all participants forge an individual, emotional connection to the trainingidentify what skills a facilitator needs-the right facilitator makes all the differencecreate memorable learning experiences, not simply educational programsThe authors' goal is nothing less than to spark a worldwide revolution of informed practitioners, employees, and business leaders who will demand diversity training be given the same time, resources, and attention as any other critical enterprise initiative.Reading group discussion guide available in book.
