Reports of bias in today's work environment are alarming. A 2019 Harvard Business Review study "surveyed over 16,000 employees in 14 countries around the world to see what obstacles they face" and described "pervasive, day-to-day bias," adding that "[h]alf of all diverse employees stated that they see bias as part of their day-to-day work experience."

Diversity Training 

As part of an effort to reduce such incidents, many large companies, as well as a substantial number of medium-sized ones, have incorporated diversity training into their workplaces (where diversity is considered along the lines of one's race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc…). As the authors at Deloitte Insights wrote in 2017,

Over two-thirds (69 percent) of executives rate diversity and inclusion an important issue (up from 59 percent in 2014).

Without in any way disparaging the importance of those efforts, it is worth reflecting for a moment on whether companies and organizations should also think about the perspectives of their employees who may question the exclusive emphasis on this particular way of thinking about diversity.
