Allyship in the workplace: How to shift from passive tokenism to active inclusion

As part of National Inclusion Week, join us for an exclusive workshop hosted by Freeths on the transformative power of allyship in the workplace.
 
Allyship is crucial for a thriving and inclusive workplace. A 2023 report by Diversity for Social Impact shows that companies with strong allyship initiatives see a 21% increase in employee engagement and a significant boost in innovation, employee retention, and overall productivity. Additionally, the State of Allyship Report by Change Catalyst found that 92% of people value having allies at work, leading to a greater sense of belonging and job satisfaction.

You will gain an understanding of:

• Definitions and pitfalls: learn what allyship is and how to make it more than tokenism
• Stages of allyship maturity: progress through awareness, education, action, advocacy, and sustained commitment.
• Practical strategies: how to foster a culture of support and advocacy within your organisation
• Expert guidance: learn from leading professionals in diversity, equity, and inclusion

Understanding and investing in allyship is essential for the modern workplace. By attending this workshop, you will gain valuable insights and tools to create a more inclusive environment for all employees.

The session will be led by Lou Silver, EDI Manager at Freeths, who has extensive experience in EDI and a commitment to evidence-based approaches.

Anyone responsible for people, growth and diversity should attend.
