Course Information

Introduction

Microaggressions, though subtle, can have profound and lasting impacts on workplace culture, employee morale, and overall organizational performance. Often rooted in unconscious bias, these behaviors can alienate team members, diminish trust, and stifle collaboration. Understanding, addressing, and mitigating microaggressions is not merely a step towards inclusivity—it is an essential component of creating a workplace that values diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

This course delves into the nuanced world of microaggressions, providing participants with the tools and frameworks to identify, address, and prevent these behaviors. It emphasizes creating an environment where every employee feels respected and valued, fostering a culture of open communication and accountability. Participants will gain an understanding of the psychological, social, and professional implications of microaggressions and learn how to counteract their effects effectively.

The training incorporates evidence-based practices, real-life case studies, and interactive exercises to equip professionals with the confidence to navigate challenging conversations and scenarios. It also highlights the role of leadership in shaping an inclusive culture and empowering employees to address microaggressions constructively.

By fostering empathy and understanding, organizations can cultivate a workplace where all employees can thrive, regardless of their background or identity.
