Class Description
Creating a Culture of Inclusion, From Microaggressions to Microaffirmations
How social stereotypes influence behaviors and actions and what to do about them
Microaggressions are the everyday verbal and non-verbal exchanges, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their membership in a marginalized/underrepresented group, e.g., race/ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion). While microaggressions may appear harmless or even seem like a compliment, e.g., telling a
person of color “you are so articulate”, they contain demeaning hidden messages that often stem from unconscious biases. Employees who are frequent targets of microaggressions can experience health problems, burnout, and other negative effects of what has been called a “death by a thousand cuts.”
This workshop focuses on creating awareness of the negative impact that subtle or unintentional comments or actions towards members of marginalized groups can have on these individuals and others, and the workplace. As part of our comprehensive approach to behavior-based Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) training, this course features examples of case scenarios, behaviors and interactive assessments that promote a more inclusive, respectful, and engaging workplace.
Objectives:
- Learn how to define and describe microaggressions
- Understand the negative impact of microaggressions on individuals, groups, and organizations
- Learn and practice strategies for responding to microaggressions with microaffirmations in a positive and effective manner
