CareerForce Workforce Wednesday—Biases, microaggressions & code switching in the workplace
By Nicole Mattson, HSE, SHRM-SCP, SPHR | January 27, 2023 | All members
Our workforce today is more diverse than ever. Although there are efforts to welcome diversity in the workplace, BIPOC and other underrepresented groups continue to experience biases, inequities, and microaggressions in the workplace. Those who are able to navigate often find themselves having to code-switch to assimilate.
Join CareerForce for an engaging virtual discussion to take a more in-depth look at biases and microaggressions as it relates to the workforce and how to recognize and respond. They will also look at the phenomenon of code-switching. Why is this still necessary in today's diverse workforce? What is the cost of code-switching for those affected? Why do some feel the need to do this to be taken seriously? Please join prepared to share your experiences and ideas!
