Course Overview
Microaggressions can be subtle, but their effects can have a significant impact on workplace relationships, communication, and inclusion. They may involve comments, behaviors, assumptions, or actions that communicate negative or dismissive messages toward people from marginalized or underrepresented groups.
This course introduces learners to the different types of microaggressions, including microinsults, microinvalidations, and microassaults, as well as environmental microaggressions. It explores where these behaviors can come from and how they may affect the people who experience them.
Learners will examine common examples of microaggressions and consider how unconscious biases, assumptions, and stereotypes can influence workplace interactions. The course also provides practical guidance for recognizing microaggressions, responding effectively, avoiding harmful behavior, and considering what to do when you realize you have committed a microaggression.
The goal is to help employees contribute to a more respectful and inclusive workplace where people can communicate, collaborate, and participate without feeling marginalized or excluded.
This course is designed for employees and workplace leaders who want to improve awareness, communication, and respectful workplace behavior.
