TrainingBriefs® Micro-Inequities in the Workplace

Micro-inequities and micro-affirmations are examples of micro-messaging, which is a broader term that encompasses all the subtle and often nonverbal ways that we communicate with others. Micro-messaging can have a significant influence on how we perceive ourselves and others, how we relate to each other, and how we perform in various settings. It's important to be aware of our own micro-messages and how they may affect others. It's also important to challenge and address micro-inequities when we encounter them (at work, at events, etc.) and to practice and promote micro-affirmations when we have the opportunity. By doing so, we can create a more respectful, inclusive, and equitable culture for everyone.
