I think you misinterpret why this is being done. It's not to train employees.

It's a hedge against accusations of racism.

So management can point at this and say: see? We did all we could!

Bingo. Not just a hedge against accusations but even a hedge against civil liability.

A similar story plays out in academic settings for Title IX training.
