Diversity & Inclusion Training

[Neuk_]

My employer's HR department is 'providing' compulsory diversity & inclusion training. What am I in for?

A safe space where you can discuss your feelings.

Why does it sound kind of like those 2 things contradict each other?

UK or SA?

They're not, perhaps you should attend the training yourself.

Anyway never been but I know it is offered where I work.

 

[Azg]

Attend and report back.

That is somewhat disappointing.

SA

I will do.

We need some context:

-What industry you are in.
- how big is your company
- is the company well known
- Can anybody at work identify you from your myBB profile
Etc.

An opportunity to start a youtube channel if you film some of it.

- is the company well known - Yes, publicly listed on the JSE.
- Can anybody at work identify you from your myBB profile - I am sure they can if they dig deep enough.

I'll probably have to start some robust debate to make it worthwhile.

Thanks, I see it mentions "unconscious bias", that should be a fun topic.

For lunch you'll be having Walkie-Talkies, boerewors, pap, biltong and sheep brains.

I had to attend this schit.
"Distinguishing between Fair & Unfair Discrimination in terms of Law"
So i said to the dude presenting that AA is discrimination. Answer: No....it's fair discrimination.
Then you get lunch and go beat some drums to "connect" with each other. Horseschyte workshop.

Just ask them for examples of inappropriate jokes. They’ll give you some good material.

And then they put you in groups, give you the scenario of an island without people and who you will choose to go with to start a civilization. It's all about workplace integration. See if you're left or right of the regime.

It's coming to every SA business so you are not alone. Will Eusebius be conducting one of the sessions?
