These are all valuable things to address, but in my experience they're not what corporate diversity programs do. I'm scrolling through my company's diversity page right now, and the front page from top to bottom contains:
* An affirmation that we stand with the black community.
* A list of political organizations we should donate to in support of the black community.
* TED talks on how news, policing, etc. are sometimes implicitly racist. (We as a company aren't involved in news or policing.)
* A reimbursement offer for up to $1,000 per person on anti-racism materials.
* Recommended articles, books, etc.
There's a lot of other stuff in tabs and menus and such. But if I didn't know how to handle an employee with poor performance during the Ramadan fast, none of the information I see would help me figure it out, and it's my understanding that this is typical.
