Micro-Inequities in the Workplace - Center for Race and Culture (CFRAC)

Written By Tanya Camp

In this workshop, participants will have a good understanding of micro-inequities, the way they impact individuals and workplaces, how to identify and respond to such behaviours, and how to implement preventive strategies.

A micro-inequity is a behavior, a subtle form of discrimination where a person is singled out, devalued, overlooked, or ignored due to their accent, ethno-racial identity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic class, disability, or membership in a minoritized group. Micro-inequities have negative impacts on workplaces and the wellbeing of individuals and communities. Focusing on education as the key to promoting inclusion and respect, the workshop’s main objectives to enhance the capacity of participants in addressing and challenging discrimination and inequity include:

  • Raising awareness around micro-inequities

  • Support skill development in the area of anti-discrimination to mitigate and intervene in instances of micro-inequities

  • Promoting inclusive communication skills and service delivery

  • Leading to new behaviors including reducing discriminatory habits and attitudes
