Everyday discrimination is difficult to detect and to address. However, discrimination based on stereotypical assumptions exists in most workplaces where offensive humor, biased small talk, and stigmatizing comments lead to low job satisfaction and impact performance negatively.

To end everyday discrimination, managers must take action to create inclusive organizational cultures, but anyone, regardless of their position in the organizational hierarchy, can contribute by embodying new habits and behaviors that minimize everyday discrimination and block its detrimental effects.
