Microaggressions in the Workplace

Maybe you’ve heard the term microaggression. But what does it actually mean? Microaggressions are subtle behaviours or comments that negatively impact people from traditionally marginalised groups. Working towards creating a workplace that’s fair and safe for everyone is important. Learning to spot microaggressions in your workplace can help you prevent your colleagues from being harmed. Understanding how to respond if you witness a microaggression will help you react appropriately. And being ready and able to accept feedback about your own behaviour will help you grow and avoid harming your colleagues.
