Managing Microaggressions
Managing Microaggressions
If left unchecked, disrespectful behaviours can set the path for microaggressions, harassment, and discrimination to thrive. This workshop will provide participants with a deeper understanding of the types of microaggressions, with examples and case study scenarios. Participants will consider how they can respond as the recipient or witness of a microaggression, as well as how to respond if they have been called out as an initiator.
Audience
From employees to managers to senior leaders and executives, as well as people of all identities, anyone can benefit from learning more about micro-behaviours and the actions we can take when we come across them.
Primary Learning Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify different types of micro-behaviours.
- Apply strategies to respond in difficult situations, as the recipient of disrespectful behaviour, as a manager/people leader, and as the perpetrator.
