Practical allyship: learn to respond to microaggressions, support colleagues navigating bias, and advocate for accommodations and accessibility in daily work.
Engaging caregivers and underrepresented groups: provide flexible schedules, respectful language, and safe reporting channels that protect privacy and safety.
