Session

Diversity and inclusion are top priorities for company leaders. However, often times, we make snap judgments of people we interact with, categorizing them according to various characteristics. This may unintentionally lead to microaggressions—which are subtle, covert forms of discrimination that may have detrimental impacts within the workplace. Research shows that when microaggressions are directly addressed, workplace teams enhance performance, cohesion, and outcomes.

Therefore, during this interactive presentation, audience members will learn practical strategies to help identify microaggressions and action steps to mitigate them. Additionally, coping strategies for those who experience microaggressions will be discussed. Together we will engage in dialogue and build techniques to improve workplace culture and promote healthy work environments.
