We had this initiative over the past 7-8 years.
Most of it was very common sense, but lots of it, people just don't realize.
Examples:
Girl walks into elevator, you look up and down at her body. That could be construed as sexual harrassment. Rogue or Elevator Eyeballing I believe it was called.
It brings up awareness. Awareness is what people think is key to making diversity work.
Personally, I don't agree. Diversity works because people want to work together, not because they understand that there are differences of people. I think that it does bring some awareness, but all in all if a person is rude and condescending towards women, gays, minorities, then nothing will change after a 4 hour seminar.
