TRUSTED BY

Learning Objectives

Learners will explore how to navigate these experiences from multiple roles—recipient, bystander, and initiator—and will gain strategies for meaningful intervention and ongoing advocacy.

Understanding Microaggressions

Define microinequities and microaggressions, exploring their subtle forms of discrimination and their impact on individuals and workplace culture.
Recognize the different types of micro-behaviours, including verbal, nonverbal, and environmental cues that perpetuate bias and exclusion in the workplace.

Managing and Addressing Microaggressions

Apply strategies to respond in difficult situations, as the recipient of disrespectful behaviour, as a manager/people leader, and as the perpetrator. Know when to Call In vs. Calling Out disrespectful behaviour.

Promoting Micro-Affirmations

Discuss the concept of micro-affirmations as positive, small acts of inclusion and affirmation that counteract microaggressions, fostering a more inclusive and supportive workplace environment.
Learn how to implement micro-affirmations in daily interactions and practices, promoting belonging, respect, and equity for all employees.

What Participants Are Saying

"These sessions illuminated the history of racism in the land now known as Canada . One of many important discussions was on the intersection of racism and other identity dimensions. "

"The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging, I had an exceptional experience sharing and learning with others in the programs. These certificates give you hands-on knowledge that you can use in your everyday life to advocate and advance EDI work. I have learned so much over the last several months that I will actively use to engage with others."

" I have found the quality of the programs to be top notch and the facilitators to be very knowledgeable. My own knowledge has increased substantially and I look forward to participating in more programs in the future."

"The training I am doing is enabling me to develop an E&I program for our Ecosystem of companies that is built on current evidence and best practices"
