Abstract

This chapter provides a discussion of key theoretical contributions on diversity training and assesses the role of learning in changing individual attitudes. It offers a critical insight into the current literature on diversity training and learning and examines how organisations respond to addressing discriminatory behaviours and attitudes in the workplace. The scope of the chapter is to evaluate the discourse on diversity training and assess the extent to which diversity training interventions could generate ‘hidden’ inequalities towards individual attitudes.
