Ever heard a comment that made you uncomfortable, but you couldn't quite figure out why? 🤔 That's the subtle power of microaggressions… Whether it’s a small comment on someone's appearance or assuming something about another individual’s abilities, these seemingly innocuous slights or insults happen more often than we realise, particularly in the workplace! So, why should we care? 🤷 Well, as ‘harmless’ as they may seem, these microaggressions can chip away at a person's sense of belonging and self-worth, leading to increased stress, decreased job satisfaction, and even mental health issues over time.
