Abstract
Many organizations that tout a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion struggle with realizing the outcomes they are striving towards. A culture of belonging is built through the many small moments that happen daily across the organization. While the actions of a few can set a vision, inspire disruption, and mobilize actions in others, it is the daily communications and actions of many that make a difference. Equity and inclusion can only be realized when they are part of culture–and specifically, when there is a culture of allyship. This session explores what allyship is and how to build and maintain a culture of allyship through an examination of the successes and learnings from real situations. Participants learn how being an ally in the workplace promotes an inclusive culture and equitable outcomes; identify approaches to overcome challenges of allyship; understand the challenges of intervening as an ally and how to adapt your approach; and learn how to adapt your allyship to meet the needs of different situations.
