When harassment rears its ugly head in the workplace, it usually starts with microaggressions. In today's Mindset Monday video, Ashley Virtue reminds bystanders why it's important to step in and make it known that harassment is not tolerated.
Ever had to go noticeably above and beyond in the workplace just to prove that you are a hard worker? Ever had someone give you a back handed compliment once they realize that you're the person in charge? If you answered yes, then you’ve probably experienced what described as a micro aggression. Unlike overt discrimination, micro aggressions are generally more elusive because they often gone unnoticed and unreported. In today's Mindset Monday video, Ashley Virtue gives examples of micro aggressions, how they can lead to harassment in the workplace, and what you can do to put an end to it.
Back in December, we did an entire series on Bystander Intervention and had introduced you to what microaggressions are and how you can stop them in the workplace. Based on the number of questions we had about microagressions, we wanted to spend some time and dive a bit deeper on these everyday slights that can be harmful to others.
