Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
Use your privilege on behalf of others
“I challenge ERG’s to utilise their relative privilege on behalf of the other communities in their ERG family”
Employee resource groups as a high potential development opportunity
“It should be on the table that an ERG leadership position and an Executive Sponsor position as well should be a stretch assignment for high potential talent and it should also be viewed as a pipeline for that talent”
Lessons from the LGBT Community about Allies:
“The gay community in the workplace has done this really well with straight allies.. both sides have reached out proactively and built these tremendous relationships and I’d like to see ally ship exercised more effectively”
