Abstract

Microaggressions are small slights, insults, or dismissive actions that members of marginalized or underrepresented groups have to deal with daily. Even though these things may seem minor or unimportant, they can impact the person who gets them and make the workplace hostile and unwelcoming. Many workplaces have microaggressions, which can hurt people's mental health, happiness at work, and overall health. Also, research has shown that microaggressions can hurt people from underrepresented groups, like people of colour and women, more than others, which can worsen workplace inequality. They can also contribute to a hostile and unwelcoming work environment that makes employees less productive, more likely to miss work, and less happy. Microaggressions can be done on purpose or by accident. Even though they are small, research has shown that they significantly impact employees' mental health, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. The exposure to microaggressions can change how employees see the organization, making them less loyal and trusting.
