How to Deal with Discrimination at Work

About this session

Discrimination in the workplace can be exhibited through overt actions or more subtle microaggressions from management or coworkers. No matter how it’s packaged, discrimination is unacceptable in all its forms and should be appropriately addressed.

Annie Brown, Head of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at GoTo, knows it’s not always easy to come forward with claims of discrimination, but it’s likely that nothing will change if you don’t take action. That’s why she’ll be joining us to share tips on how to handle discrimination at work. From managing microaggressions to employee rights and conversations with HR, you’ll learn how to protect yourself, and others, to foster a more inclusive work environment.

In this chat, you’ll learn:

  • What you need to know before taking a discrimination claim to HR
  • How to stand up for yourself and encourage others to do the same
  • When leaving isn’t quitting
