And yet,

Sometimes self-judgments about mental & emotion struggles can keep us from getting the support we need.

Just remember:

  • Employees feel more valued by managers who take accountability for microaggressions.

  • Employees who feel they belong are more loyal & productive at work.

  • Microaggressions are too expensive to go unchecked - employees who feel excluded leave.

  • Be self-compassionate & hold yourself accountable to inclusive behavior - it benefits you, your colleagues & your company.
