This means that the “small things” like i.e., a joke, using the wrong name, touching someone’s hair actually has a negative physical reaction. These micro exclusions have a lasting impact on the person experiencing them, damaging identity, inclusion and well-being in the workplace.
This full-day training explores the practical application of inclusive and equitable practices in the workplace. We’ll decode the subtle language of “isms” (e.g. racism, sexism, and ableism) that are called microaggressions and, show you how to recognize and address their impact in workplace interactions and environments. Using intellectual humility and respectful curiosity, participants work towards identifying opportunities to uncover unintentional exclusions in the workplace. “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression” Franklin Leonard. If this quote strikes a response from you either way… join us to further the discussion.
