We often focus on the big stuff when it comes to workplace culture - formal policies, grand gestures, and leadership statements. But what about the subtle, everyday behaviours that quietly shape how people feel at work?
In our latest episode, we dive into a powerful and eye-opening topic: how something as seemingly harmless as a sigh can carry weight, especially for neurodivergent colleagues.
We unpack a recent employment tribunal case where repeated sighing by a manager wasn’t brushed off as frustration, it was viewed as a potential breach of the Equality Act. From there, we explore the broader, often invisible ways power dynamics and microaggressions show up in our working lives.
This isn’t about being hyper-critical or policing every word and gesture. It’s about cultivating a culture where empathy, emotional intelligence, and everyday respect aren't just buzzwords but how we actually show up for one another.
If you’re a leader, manager, or someone who cares about creating a genuinely inclusive, human workplace — this one’s for you.
