Exploring Microbehaviors and their Impact

Approximate time: 30 minutes

Understanding Micro-Behaviors and Micro Aggressions

Microbehaviors comprise verbal and non-verbal messages we send and receive when we interact with others, which can have a positive or negative impact. While microinequities demean or marginalize the recipient, microaffirmations are acknowledgments of another person’s value.

In this eLearning module, we will explore microbehaviors and their types, consider the different themes of microaggressions, and summarize their impact on the workplace through scenarios and reflective situations.

  • Define microbehaviors and its two types: microinequities and microaffirmations.

  • Describe the 10 themes from which microaggressions emerge.
  • Recognize common examples of microinequities in the workplace and their inclusive alternatives.
