Microaggressions

Microaggressions are small comments or actions, often based on stereotypes or bigotry, which may not be intended to be harmful but do harm.

The cumulative effect of these slights, day after day, can make someone feel they don’t belong, distract them from doing their jobs, and cause stress.

Knowing how to recognize microaggressions and then intervene on behalf of yourself or others can improve quality of life and teamwork. No one is perfect, and everyone should be given the chance to correct their behavior, apologize, and change.

The workforce is more diverse than ever, and that includes generational diversity. When the generations don’t appreciate each other’s unique perspectives and abilities, a division can grow. Separation, and even discrimination, may follow.
