Diversity
The inclusion of different types of people (such as people of different races
or cultures) in a group or organization
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect.
It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual
differences.
It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple
tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity
contained within each individual.

Micro Messages
Affirming and Enabling Diversity
Office of Human Resources
Generally speaking, a micro aggression is an act that stereotypes or
denigrates the recipient. Examples:
โ€ข I went to see a woman doctor.
โ€ข You donโ€™t sound black.
โ€ข To a woman of color: you are so articulate
โ€ข You donโ€™t look Jewish
โ€ข He is Christian, but very open-minded.
โ€ข Itโ€™s great you donโ€™t have any accent (to a Korean American).
โ€ข I never would have guessed you were gay.
โ€ข Isnโ€™t it nice that you are helping your wife out with the kids at home?
โ€ข You are no shrinking violent. And I mean that as a complement
โ€ข You are doing such a great job (to a disabled employee who is doing no
better than anyone else.
โ€ข I thought that way when I was young.
Micro Agression
Affirming and Enabling Diversity
Office of Human Resources
Generally speaking, a micro inequity is a slight that demeans or
marginalizes the recipient. Examples:
โ€ข The leader says good morning to everyone but one person.
โ€ข A manager repeatedly ignores the existence of a colleague in the
elevator.
โ€ข A group of employees go out for coffee or drinks after work and leave
one person on the team consistently behind.
โ€ข A manager is more lenient in providing time off to women to care for a
child than men.
โ€ข Asking the only woman in the room to take notes or minutes.
โ€ข Consistently asking the millennial in the office for tech support.
Micro Inequity
Affirming and Enabling Diversity
Office of Human Resources
โ€ข Peopleโ€™s willingness to
participate is negatively
impacted.
โ€ข They give less energy to
complete a task.
โ€ข When people feel devalued
they donโ€™t give their best.
What impact do micro aggressions &
micro inequities have?
Affirming and Enabling Diversity
Office of Human Resources
โ€ข Root out hidden bias, recognition is
the first step to dealing with and
overcoming biases.
โ€ข Give and get feedback.
โ€ข Increase positive contacts with diverse
groups.
โ€ข Ensure diverse voices are heard.
โ€ข Be thoughtful.
