Tackling Microaggressions in Your Workplace

Is workplace discrimination flying under the radar at your office?

If your inclusion, equity and diversity (IE&D) initiatives are too general; you're overlooking how subtle forms of discrimination can impact marginalized employees.

Left unaddressed, these microaggressions can negatively impact employee mental health, damage workplace culture and prevent you from retaining top performers. Ultimately hurting your bottom line.

What exactly are microaggressions? These interactions communicate hostility or negative slights that are often so subtle that the individual is unaware that their comments are harmful to their co-workers.

Microaggressions: The silent threat to workplace culture.

SHRM research shows that 2 out of 3 Black employees experience microaggressions in their current workplace, a rate almost 2x higher than other groups. Unsurprisingly, employees experiencing these subtle discriminations are 2-6x more likely to quit.*

As an HR professional, you have the power to ensure that employees feel safe while driving key business outcomes. It starts with education.

Join your peers at the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo 2024 (SHRM24), June 23-26 in Chicago and virtually, to hear from a wide range of experts on the future of IE&D and how to prioritize civility in the workplace.

With over 375 sessions, you're sure to leave with the tools you need to develop an intentionally inclusive culture where all employees can thrive. Register before Feb. 29 to lock in early-bird pricing!
