How the death of George Floyd became the moment DEI explodes - and become a global phenomenon.
But as we can now see, it’s a story of how the world’s largest companies had a moment to really make a much-needed difference - and totally blew it by opting for a divisive, ideological form of DEI.
A psychologist describes how polarising whiteness training was - and how men’s mental health has been sidelined.
This is the third episode of White Men Can't Work! - a five-part series...
In which award-winning documentary-maker Tim Samuels fearlessly investigates what it’s like being a man in today’s woke workplaces.
And how a radical form of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) managed to capture our biggest companies and institutions.
Costing billions, trampling over free speech, fairness and men’s mental health - all whilst turning out to be counterproductive.
IN THIS EPISODE
Trainee NHS psychologist ‘Simon’ tells Tim he was made to feel ashamed being a white man - on a course that paid scant attention to men’s mental health.
In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, Lee Chambers - a business psychologist - said he allowed some hope to creep in, but DEI never focussed on meaningful change.
Professor Erec Smith says the diversity training companies reached for was rooted in Marxist-inspired ideology.
London Business School Professor Alex Edmans notes that companies were in a Black Lives Matter panic - and were desperate to be seen to do something.
Dr Carole Sherwood, clinical psychologist, argues that DEI encourages people to think of themselves as victims.
Employment lawyer Adrian Scotland reveals big companies are willing to flout employment law to drive a diversity agenda.
The five-part series will reveal:
- The huge mental health toll on men - who are anxious about doing or saying the wrong thing at work
- The ‘reverse discrimination’ that men now face in their careers - and the crazy micro-aggressions that can cost jobs
- Impact on our emergency services
- Smarter ways to tackle discrimination that actually work
