Part of the problem here is this kind of training has become “an industry”. There is a positive feedback loop and people want to cache in.

To make more money you create demand. How do you create demand? You make it obligatory training.

This one is about devaluing a culture for political reasons. But there are other topics like coöperation, teamwork, time management, etc. occasionally there are good insights. Mostly it’s regurgitated bullshit that has a stamp of approval and ticks off a compliance box somewhere. It’s a goldmine.

And how do you make it obligatory training? By (perhaps implicitly) threatening a company that a howling mob will destroy their image if they don't show that they're fully committed to the position that the training is supposed to achieve. And how do you show that you're fully committed? By having the training.

And what does the training teach you to do? To confront racism wherever you see it. Thus the training recruits you to become part of the howling mob to threaten the next business with.

It's so perfect that I can't tell if that's just an accidental side effect of following an ideology, or if it's a deliberate mafia-style shakedown with the added genius of a positive feedback loop that amplifies the threat as time goes on.

It’s a full on Diversity and inclusion industrial complex at this point and exemplary of the Shirky principle (they are preserving the problem to which they are the solution), which is why the goals of such people are never put in specific and measurable terms. This allows the goal posts to be continually moved no matter how much progress is made since these people want to keep the firehouse of corporate money flowing.
