Diversity training must go beyond the basic definitions and delve into the broader dimensions of diversity, including but not limited to, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and cultural background. A key component is the inclusion of intersectionality—the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination combine, overlap, or intersect. Understanding these concepts helps tech professionals appreciate the full spectrum of diversity and its impact on the work environment.
