Spreading awareness of the devastating effects of subtle exclusion in the workplace.
Exclusion at work often doesn’t look dramatic. It is subtle, and easy to overlook. A conversation shifts when you arrive. Decisions are made without your input. You are welcomed to stay, but not really listened to.
Because nothing is said directly, it’s hard to notice — and easy to start doubting yourself.
Research shows these moments are real. Subtle exclusion drains energy, undermines confidence, and harms health.
This site is here to put that knowledge in plain words — so you can see it clearly, and stop doubting yourself.
Patterns of behavior and feelings you can look out for, to better identify exclusion as it unfolds.
Explanations of how exclusion shows itself, what research says about its effects, why it happens, and how people cope with it.
A personal opinion on the limits of current terms, and why the effect, and not the intent, is the measure that should be considered.
