Make a big difference with small changes
Are micro behaviours having a big impact on the harmony and inclusivity of your workplace?
Discover how Pearn Kandola’s micro-incivilities program can help you identify and address these hard to recognise micro-incivilities (also know as microaggressions), fostering a more inclusive and positive working environment.
Understanding micro-incivilities and microaggressions
Micro-incivilities can be small, often unconscious things we all say or do.
If unchecked, they can make those around us feel excluded, unappreciated and disrespected.
This is why they are often called “microaggressions”.
With our specialised training on microaggressions, you can transform these negative behaviours into positive actions that make individuals feel valued, motivated and included.
The definition of a microaggression or micro-incivility is:
Daily, commonplace behaviours that signal, wittingly or unwittingly, to members of out-groups that they do not belong and are not welcome.
Examples include:
- Failing to acknowledge your colleague’s suggestions
- Checking your texts in a meeting
- Repeatedly forgetting someone’s name
Micro-incivilities or ‘microaggressions’ can have a damaging impact in any environment. We’ll help you to identify and mitigate their effects in the workplace.
Pearn Kandola’s micro-resistance response framework
Our micro-incivilities program is rooted in the Pearn Kandola Micro-Resistance Response Framework. This comprehensive approach empowers individuals to:
- Recognise and identify micro-incivilities in the workplace
- Understand the role they may play in perpetuating micro-incivilities
- Take meaningful steps to minimise these behaviours and their impact
The program includes a dynamic 2-hour live workshop, which is preceded by access to our cutting-edge online diagnostics tool.
This tool gathers individual feedback to provide valuable insights into individual strengths and weaknesses when it comes to inclusion, ensuring that our training targets each participant’s needs.
The power of personalised insights
We understand that one-size-fits-all solutions fall short when addressing the complexities of human behaviour.
That’s why our approach is powered by personalised insights.
Using our bespoke digital platform, we gather feedback from each individual to identify areas that require attention at both the individual and organisational levels.
This data informs the creation of a unique workshop that delivers targeted actions to drive lasting and meaningful behaviour change.
