Research suggests many types of racial microaggressions occur in workplace settings, such as the lack of representation of one’s own group, invisibility, invalidation of one’s individual experience, and exclusion from social events. Collectively, these types of racial microaggressions can lead to high rates of depression, isolation, and absenteeism in the workplace. These outcomes can detrimentally impact salary increases and promotion. Moreover, racial microaggressions can lead to turnover and dismissal.
