Recognizing Microaggressions

Microaggressions are indirect, often unconscious expressions of racism, sexism, ageism, or ableism. They manifest in seemingly innocuous comments or actions that, over time, can have a profound negative impact on the mental health and productivity of individuals. In the workplace, these can range from backhanded compliments about someone's English skills to assumptions about an individual's role or capabilities based on their appearance.
