Q6. How do you/your organization define/show Allyship? #HRSocialHour
@Jon_Thurmond A6 - Allyship: 1. Listen more than you speak. An effective ally takes notice and listens, and seeks out opportunities to learn. 2. Mentor others. ... 3. Shine the spotlight on others 4. Recognize – and correct – exclusion (call it out and correct it) #HRSocialHour #Allyship
@Jon_Thurmond A6. Even the acknowledgement of Juneteenth, Pride, Women's History Month, etc. show an effort to be an ally. Many organizations are still not there...yet. #HRSocialHour
@Jon_Thurmond A6. Every employee is expected to show/demonstrate Allyship to each and every group/club/individual and be an advocate for same whenever and however needed. #HRSocialhour
@Jon_Thurmond I describe allyship as bringing up others who have been marginalized, supporting them, lifting them up, and advocating for them! #HRSocialHour
@Jon_Thurmond A6 - does showing our preferred pronouns in our email signature show Allyship? (I heard that this normalizes preferred pronouns and can help for others to share theirs) #Pronouns #HRSocialHour #Allyship
@Jon_Thurmond 6. There isn’t a set definition of being an Ally. It can mean different things to each individual. You don’t necessarily have to march or protest to be an ally. Being on this very chat is a way with contributing as an ally. 1/2 #HRSocialHour
@Jon_Thurmond 6. Some examples of being an ally include allowing yourself to learn and educate yourself, bringing diversity to the table, mentoring marginalized colleagues, etc…2/2 #HRSocialHour
@Jon_Thurmond A6 Remembering the behaviour you walk by is the behaviour you accept. Speak up and show up. #Allyship #DEIB #HRSocialHour
