B4 - How to Do the Work of an Ally - Fall 2021 IT Pro Forum

Women in Technology (WIT) and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion present an overview and best practices for allyship in the workplace. Allyship in the workplace means recognizing the privilege that members of majority groups have in a professional context - and using that privilege to aid in the dismantling of systems and processes that prevent colleagues from having equal opportunities. The panelists will share scenarios and engaging group discussion to aid attendees in being allies to help their departments create and maintain a more inclusive work environment. Remember by helping marginalized employees feel included, recognized and valued, allyship can improve employee engagement and productivity.
