Definition
Microaggressions are brief, everyday actions or comments that convey stereotypes or invalidate someone’s identity. They may seem harmless, but they can accumulate and affect a person’s sense of belonging.
Examples include assuming expertise based on gender, interrupting someone, or making jokes about a protected characteristic.
Impact
Even when not intended to harm, microaggressions can create a hostile environment, lower engagement, and contribute to turnover. Recognizing them helps reduce harm and promote inclusion.
