This module delves into the impact of microaggressions in the workplace and their detrimental effects on employee morale and productivity. It explores three main types of microaggressions - microassaults, microinsults, and microinvalidations. Microassaults, while less common, are explicit and direct, aiming to harm the recipient. Microinsults are subtler acts that convey rudeness or insensitivity, often unintentionally. Microinvalidations invalidate certain groups' experiences, erasing their narrative from workplace discussions. Addressing these behaviors is crucial to prevent an unhealthy work environment, boosting employee engagement and minimizing turnover risks. By recognizing and understanding microaggressions, organizations can proactively create a more inclusive and respectful workplace.
