Overview

Allyship is active advocacy. It means listening to targets, offering support, and standing up against harassment when you witness it. Use inclusive language and demonstrate respect for colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

Accountability as an ally includes holding oneself and others to high standards. Acknowledge mistakes, report concerns, and speak up when you see harmful behavior, even when no one directly asks for help.

Mentoring and advocacy: Use your position to uplift underrepresented colleagues, invite diverse perspectives, and ensure access to opportunities and safe customer experiences.

Managing pushback: Some people may resist allyship. Stay consistent, document incidents, seek support from leadership, and model constructive responses that align with policy and culture.
