During Pride Month, Pulte is sharing resources on allyship. Allyship refers to the actions, behaviors, and practices that individuals take to support, amplify, and advocate with others, especially with individuals who don’t belong to the same social identity groups as themselves.
The first step to allyship is to listen. Listen to not only hear but to understand others’ experiences. Start off the week by listening to our colleagues’ personal and professional experiences as members of the LGBTQIA community and gain a better understanding of their journeys.
Another vital step to allyship is to expand your knowledge. Learn about the importance of allyship while gaining a better understanding of the cultures that make up our communities and the implicit biases we sometimes have.
In the end, allyship is all about action. Be an ally in team meetings, with your customers and in the community.
