What is allyship? How does it relate to an inclusive culture? How is allyship practiced within a team? While intentions may be good within a company culture, certain actions of dominant groups can be more harmful than helpful. This module looks at examples of what allyship does and does not look like. It also provides space for the team to understand what effective allyship looks like specifically at your organization.
-
Managers are key factors to employee retention yet many managers are not trained on how to bring out the best from all employees. This module goes into how people leaders can lead more inclusively, practice allyship and ensure they are modeling the behavior that facilitates the retention of talent from all backgrounds.
-
Terms such as “inclusion” and “unconscious bias” have become widely understood, but how do these ideas play out in our day-to-day dynamics with colleagues? From the way we engage in meetings to how we assign projects, small micro-changes can make a major impact. This module includes starting steps on how team members can create more inclusive environments.
