In recent years, allyship for those that identify as LGBTQ+ in the workplace has been a hot subject, but cultural progress is much more than a trending topic \u2013 it\u2019s a growing movement. Allyship can help build other communities up, which helps advance equality for all. As Frances Wright, a historic social reformer, wisely said, \u201cEquality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.\u201d<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In celebration of PRIDE month (June), the Planview PRIDE ERG (Employee Resource Group) organized a roundtable discussion on Allyship and what it takes to become a good ally. The discussion started with three questions:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. What makes a good Ally?  <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    1. How can Allies best support their chosen community?  <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. How can LGBTQ+ folks create an environment that helps their Allies?  <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        As a group, with about 300 attendees, these questions were addressed and thoughtfully discussed. It was amazing to see how many Planview employees wanted to learn and grow and find new ways to better understand and support their colleagues across the business.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
