Everyone is working hard to create cohesive work teams and if you have ever been tasked with ensuring the success of a project or left wondering why your team just couldn’t seem to work together, you know that when people have to work together, challenges can occur.
We’ve all done it... we’ve inadvertently hurt someone’s feelings or insulted them without thinking. But is that really a microaggression? Microaggressions have made their way into the mainstream lexicon as a way to describe subtle discrimination, but the term was coined in 1970 and has been around far longer than many of us imagined. In this webinar, we’ll discuss why the term has recently been associated with the curtailing of free speech and dismissed as the result of far too much political correctness. We’ll also discuss what a microaggression is, how to determine if you’ve committed one and how to prevent them at work.
Getting a handle on microaggressions can help you become a trusted team leader and a go-to resource within your organization.
