Active Allyship
Embracing a practice of inclusion to transform workplace culture
by
Jocelyn Peltier-Huntley
In today’s Canadian society, our expectations of work are changing and our workplaces need to adapt. This book will help you understand your role as a change agent and answer the question “How can I best contribute to transforming my workplace to work better for everyone?” While we are all at different places on our journey to understand, support, and take action towards Truth and Reconciliation and advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in our workplaces, we all have a role to play. This book will help you define your role in transforming workplace culture and, importantly, understand the nuances of culture change in the context of Canadian workplaces. Active Allyship provides practical, evidence-based solutions to establish an allyship practice intended to advance positive change in workplaces and transform your workplace culture to attract and sustain a diverse workforce—one that is representative of Canadian society. The practical strategies offered in Active Allyship are brought to life through the stories of eight active allies: Bai Bintou Kaira, Jessica Vandenberghe, Kim Hanson, Leanne Holtvogt, Philippe Lepage, Rob Jackson, Susan Lomas, and Stryker Calvez. Thank you for joining us on your journey to allyship!
