    What to consider when choosing the most effective microaggressions training

    Microaggressions training is designed to help employees understand what microaggressions are, why they're harmful, and how to identify and address them in the workplace. This training is essential for creating a more inclusive and respectful work environment for everyone.

    Microaggressions training is crucial for promoting a culture of inclusivity and respect. It helps your organization create a more positive and productive work environment, improve employee morale, and reduce the risk of legal issues.

    Microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional, but harmful remarks or actions that convey negative or demeaning messages based on a person's identity. They can be based on a person's race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or other characteristics. These subtle acts can have a cumulative negative impact on individuals and the workplace, leading to feelings of isolation, stress, and resentment. See Traliant’s article, “Taking action to recognize and respond to workplace microaggressions,” to learn more.

    Managers play a critical role in creating a positive and inclusive work environment. They can help prevent and address microaggressions by being aware of them and ensuring that everyone feels respected and valued. Microaggressions training equips managers with the skills and knowledge to promote inclusivity in their leadership and everyday interactions.

    Microaggressions can take many forms, ranging from seemingly harmless comments to subtle but demeaning actions. Some common examples include:
    • Making assumptions about a person's skills or abilities based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.
    • Commenting on a person's accent or appearance in a way that is demeaning or insensitive.
    • Treating a person differently based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.
    • Invalidating someone's experiences or feelings.
