Allies, Advocates, and Accomplices: Levels of Support in the Workplace

What does it mean to be an ally? Is allyship enough? Those seeking to create more inclusive workplaces and inclusive mindsets ask these questions often. Being an ally means supporting members of social groups outside your own and helping them to succeed. Allies, advocates, and accomplices are essential to make your workplace feel safe, comfortable, and welcoming to everyone.

In this training, participants will:

• learn about allyship, advocates, and accomplices in the workplace;
• define and discuss the difference between being an ally, advocate, or accomplice; and
• review examples of how to listen, engage, and act.

Vibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learns brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal, interactive, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge. Breakout rooms are used sometimes; there is no requirement to appear on camera.
