Training Briefs® White Guys Need Not Apply

It's easy to see how the focus on diversity, equity and inclusion has caused some white men to believe they have fewer opportunities. But the fact is that laws on fairness and equity apply equally to everyone. Efforts on the part of organizations to expand their race, gender, and ethnic diversity can’t legally, unfairly disadvantage any group. White males are protected by these same laws and have the same rights as everyone else.

It’s important to address any misconceptions about the hiring process or any implication that co-workers somehow did not qualify for or deserve their jobs.

Remember, when addressing inequities or biases, it’s important to communicate policies and practices in ways that make it clear that, inclusion is for everybody!
