Description

Building the Foundation: A Diversity in the Workplace Series
A quarterly series designed to kickstart your DEI leadership journey
DEI commitments don’t mean much if your organization doesn’t have the results that show the change you’re enacting in the workplace and broader community. At Flint & Genesee Group, our DEI efforts go a step further to dismantle the inequities within workplaces by prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion best practices within team and organization structure. Using an interactive learning approach, this DEI leadership series aims to ensure that managers have the right tools to effectively lead their teams.

Session 3: Stereotypes and Microaggressions
A microaggression is “an act or a remark that discriminates against one or more members of minority group, either deliberately or by mistake.” Microaggressions create a hostile and invalidating climate and perpetuates stereotypes in the workplace.
Considered “death by a thousand cuts,” these ongoing slights and invalidations are far from harmless. They have the potential to impact your employees’ ability to feel they can fully contribute or be part of the team, which results in loss of engagement, retention, productivity and innovation.
Designed for all employees, this training will explain microaggressions and the effect they can have on others. It will also examine why certain remarks are considered microaggressions.

Meet Your Facilitator
Sandra Etherly-Johnson, director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion & Community Relations at Flint & Genesee Group, is an experienced community organizer in academic, nonprofit, political, and faith-based organizations. As a leader of DEI, she aims to reduce the influence of bias — whether cultural, in-group or unconscious — not by striving for political correctness, but through building relationships with different people and fostering awareness both interpersonally and through monitoring of behaviors of others.

Etherly-Johnson has a bachelor’s degree in social work and holds DEI certifications and credentials to stay current in the trends and best practices in the field. She has developed and run many programs at federal, higher education and grassroots levels, giving her a unique perspective and approach to DEI and its practical applications in various settings. Her expertise has led her to facilitate multiple national DEI workshops, roundtable discussions and trainings.
