myGwork’s student and graduate survey reveals that 8 in 10 LGBTQ+ students and graduates would be more likely to accept a job offer if they saw visible allies and LGBTQ+ role models in senior positions. This highlights the powerful role allyship plays in shaping career decisions and workplace culture.
Allyship goes beyond words. It’s about fostering truly inclusive environments where all employees, especially those from underrepresented groups, feel valued and supported. It requires active learning, advocacy, and the courage to overcome barriers that can hold people back from taking action.
In fact, a recent myGwork Community Poll identified the biggest challenges to allyship: 38% cited a lack of understanding, 32% fear of making mistakes, and 27% fear of judgment. These insights underline the importance of education and safe spaces to empower allies to step up with confidence.
This edition showcases inspiring allyship initiatives from our partners, real stories of allyship in action and practical tools to build workplaces where everyone can thrive.
