Our work environment is constantly changing, therefore the ability to adapt is the single most important skill. This starts with People. Inclusion, collaboration and communication are key pillars to successful transformation.

Following thought-provoking focus groups combined with extensive research, we are delighted to introduce 'Lead Together - Bridging Genders, Building Equality'. This  new programme will support organisations to develop greater gender allyship, so they can take action, see the impact and make a difference. We want to lead the way in creating an open forum for organisations to discuss and develop clear Action Plans to move the dial on gender equality. 

We need both men and women at the table to spearhead the way in creating an inclusive workplace culture where the benefits in decision making and improved business outcomes are clear to see. 

During this 3-part programme we will:

  • Move away from ‘performative allyship’ and understand what it means to have privilege
  • Develop a growth mindset to lead inclusively and have the important conversations 
  • Explore your behaviours, identify different biases and receive tools to advocate for others
  • Receive a toolkit for your organisation on their inclusion journey

Join us on this bespoke programme expertly facilitated by Sandra Lee and Joe McCartan of Training and Learning Solutions, through a wide variety of learning options, to create a strong community of practice.

Gender Allyship is a journey not a destination. Take accountability, ownership and initiative to move from awareness into action.

Session 1 – Building an Inclusive Workplace

During this full day training we’ll recognise that psychological safety is essential to enable us to speak up without fear on our journey to becoming better allies and promote gender equity. We will explore what it means to be an ally and share the actions we can take back in the workplace. 
 
Following this training day you will be able to:  

  • Define psychological safety and behaviours that foster this in the workplace 

  • Move from Fear to Growth Zone 

  • Reflect on DEI Individual Continuum and learn where you are on the journey 

  • Understand allyship from a human centric perspective and a commercial perspective  

  • Learn how you might experience privilege in the workplace and use that privilege to support and grow others 

  • Build an action plan to build cultures of allyship  

Session 2 – Allyship in Action

During this session you'll put into practice what it means to be an ally by receiving tips and techniques to confront micro-aggressions in the workplace and to show up with behaviours that will champion inclusion. 
 
Following this session you will be able to:  

  • Define micro-behaviours, aggressions and inequities and their workplace impact 

  • Understand intent vs Impact 

  • Demonstrate allyship through inclusive language and communication 

  • Practice tips/techniques to lean into confronting these behaviours 

  • Address the micro-aggression as an ally and take accountability for your own micro-aggressions 

  • Champion Inclusive behaviours and speak up for others and ourselves 

Session 3 – Beyond Bias

During this final session we will provide a safe, empowering space for you to connect and engage through storytelling, sharing personal and professional real world examples and experiences. We will reflect on the small marginal gains and steps we can take that will move us closer to the goal of gender parity. 
 
Following this session you will receive the tools to: 

  • Acknowledge your own unconscious bias and explore how to manage it 

  • Understand the different biases at play in the workplace and challenging them  

  • Take action for who should be at your table and how you bring them with you 

  • Respond to and confront bias when we see it in the workplace 

  • Reflect your learnings with your organisation, and understand what successful impact look like 

  • Take forward best practices for closing the allyship gap 

  • Move from awareness to action 

  • Carry out your action plan to create a more inclusive workplace
