Allyship is the practice of taking action to uplift and improve the experiences of colleagues from underrepresented groups. Individual allies use their privilege, power, and influence in advocating for others in their workplace. Allyship and Community programs are a powerful way for organizations to mobilize their workforce in supporting coworkers of all identities and backgrounds, creating more a more inclusive and collaborative working environment.​

Program Details

Anyone in an organization can be an informal ally for another colleague. However, certain groups in an organization may benefit more from structured allyship programs, depending on institutional history, workforce demographics, demonstrated competency, and other important factors.​

Seen@Work will work with you to collaboratively identify who might benefit most from participating in allyship and community programs based on available data in your organization, as well as any specific goals you have set.​

As your Seen@Work team helps you to design and implement your Allyship and Community program, this engagement may include:​

  • Structured group discussions with program participants on relevant topics​

  • Curated programming for allies to better understand their colleagues’ needs​

  • Customized organizational systems for each group​

Allyship and Community programs will empower participants to advocate for one another and build increased sense of psychological safety and belonging.​
