Course description
The Power of Allies for an Inclusive Culture
An ally is someone who educates themselves about issues around inclusiveness, strives to find common ground with others and actively supports individuals from different groups. Allies are an important component of a successful diversity & inclusion (D&I) initiative and can help organizations ensure the effectiveness of their programs. They act when discrimination occurs, and they support, advocate for, and champion others who need and can benefit from such support. As a member of your organization, you have the ability to become an ally and help shape the actions and culture around you—thus fostering an environment that is respectful, diverse, inclusive, free of bias, and helps everyone have a secure sense of belonging.
