Understanding Workplace Microaggression Training
The concept of microaggressions has been present in psychology for more than 50 years, but it has gained wider attention when surfacing during discussions about workplace inclusion, diversity, and unconscious prejudices. Microaggressions refer to subtle, day-to-day verbal insults, as well as non-verbal and physical slights or snubs, whether intentional or not. Microaggressions convey condescending, negative, or hostile messages to individuals.
The impact of microaggressions on employees who are frequently targeted cannot be overstated, as they can experience emotional burnouts, health issues, and other accumulatively harmful effects. Workplace microaggression training can also encourage employees to detect these incidents better and react in ways that promote constructive change and progress in their corporate culture.
Benefits of Workplace Microaggression Training
Microaggressions have a detrimental effect on employee teamwork, productivity, morale, and well-being. Workplace microaggression training empowers employees to make the right choices and develop a more resilient and productive workplace based on mutual respect. This training inspires empathy and understanding in everyday staff interactions and decision-making by raising awareness about the harmful effects of daily snubs or slights.
Recognizing an employee’s value in the workplace is essential to fostering a positive and productive work environment. Similarly, preventing microaggressions, whether deliberate or not, through workplace microaggression training that fosters active listening skills and empathy, can enhance individual and group performance as well as encourage mindful business conduct.
