Building Belonging through Allyship
APM webinar sponsored by the Greater Bay Area Branch on 8 December 2022.
Speaker: Kevin O'Brien
This webinar discussed the topic of allyship, and why it is so important for creating an inclusive culture in the construction sector. This webinar was held on 8 December 2022.
At Gammon’s recent Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) conference, the theme of ‘allyship’ was selected as it plays such an important role in achieving an inclusive culture, and it was also Dictionary.com’s ‘word of the year’ for 2021! We wanted to raise awareness about what an ally is, why they are needed, and how to become one.
While only at the beginning of our journey, Gammon is promoting diversity, equity and inclusion both within and external to the company. We hope to create a working culture where employees can bring their true personalities, achieve their maximum potential, and feel a sense of belonging. Allies and crucial to creating that inclusive culture and Kevin O'Brien shared his views and inspiration on being a male ally and discuss some of the key points shared and learnt during that conference covering:
What is an ally
Why are they important
What impact can allies have
How to be a good ally; and
Some do’s and don’ts of being an ally
