Microaggressions - What it means for Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, microaggression is defined as ‘a comment or action that subtly and often unconsciously or unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group (such as a racial minority).’
Microaggressions in the workplace is one of the many causes of creating dysfunctional teams. Having dysfunctional team environment in the workplace has a bottom-line impact of productivity and profits because it is a problem creating by people that negatively impacts other people.
For human resources practitioners and business leaders, having awareness around language used in the workplace that can be classified as microaggression is important because if left unnoticed, such language becomes part of the corporate culture.
