Diversity training is any program designed to facilitate positive intergroup interaction, reduce prejudice and discrimination, and generally teach individuals who are different from others how to work together effectively. On April 22, 2022, Florida Governor DeSantis signed into law the “Individual Freedom Act.” The bill prohibited schools and companies from mandating diversity training as a requirement for attendance or employment.

In a diverse society everyone needs to continue to increase their knowledge and in employment, knowledge is a tool to better equip employees to do their job more competently. Diversity training should then be equated with job competency skills.

Focus on hiring well-rounded, educated and skilled people of different backgrounds to create a better workplace.

It's none of the government's business how a private company trains staff but the government should diversity train it's government employees. And offer a free quality diversity training program to private businesses. With that said a private business shouldn't be able to refuse service to anyone based on race , gender or sexuality.

It’s depends on the nature of business and industry. In a broad stroke, cultural diversity should only be required in a work setting that works with a particular ethnicity or culture frequently (either in business or service). I’m undecided on how employees who commit acts of prejudice should be handled, it would have to be decided on a case-by-case basis and a verifiable act. All workplace settings should engage in some type of diversity training when it comes to neurodivergence, physical disabilities, and mental health.

No, leave the decision to trade unions.

Encourage teaching of black history, as well as other marginalized histories in Canadian school textbooks for students, but also fund museums which allow people to tell their stories. But for staff, also have training available for them.

Whoever applies and gets the job should be employed , no matter what race, ethnicity, etc.
