Inclusion | Allyship in the workplace: how to be an active ally

Many of us like to think of ourselves as committed to supporting marginalised communities and believe we’re the kind of people who stand up for what’s right. We may think of ourselves as progressive and “not homophobic” or “not racist” and think that that’s enough to do meaningful good in the world.

Of course, that’s a fantastic start. However, simply ‘not having bad views’ or ‘not doing harm against others’ doesn’t do much to support members of the community who are subject to homophobia etc. Positive action needs to be taken to make a meaningful difference.
