Topic: Effective Allyship
Unchecked privilege, inherent bias, clumsy communication and unhelpful practices still have a hold in today's world of work. And the longer these systematic problems and cultural cracks go unchallenged, the more damage is done to the mental health, meaningful progression and enjoyment of work among marginalised and minority groups within our teams.
There are actionable, everyday steps that we can all take towards being better allies and advocates in our workplaces. First rethinking what allyship looks and feels like in practice and why it's so critical to creating psychological safety at work, enables us to then focus on the things we can practically and immediately do behaviourally to become a better ally ourselves.
