Micro-inequities – mitigating seemingly small actions to make a big impact on organizational culture Micro-inequities may be micro in name, but they have far-reaching consequences to belonging, engagement and wellbeing. To address the impact of systemic racism, sexism, abelism and other forms of discrimination we also need to learn how to recognize and address the subtle ways in which equity deserving groups are marginalized and out-grouped. Learn about the impact of micro-inequities, how to recognize them, how to support the recipient and a range of practical actions to interrupt them. This session is offered in French, English subtitles are available. |
