Allyship

Building an inclusive workplace culture requires a complete team effort. Attempts to create a safer and more equitable organisation by only a few has little chance of producing sustainable behavioural change.

This is why allyship is so important in any DEI initiative. To see meaningful change, all members of an organisation must advocate and actively work towards the inclusion of marginalised employees.

Symmetra provides the training and tools to unite all team members in meaningful actions that support those who may be experiencing discrimination or inequity and eliminate unfair practices.

How We Help to Build DEI Allies

Symmetra works to ensure that everyone in an organisation becomes an ally. We do this by providing essential education on unconscious biases, discriminatory language, micro-aggressions, etc. and then provide the tools and resources to address personal and organisational flaws and blind spots.

The result is a strong, respectful work culture where colleagues advocate for each other, celebrate individual differences, and lift each other up when they are in low spirits.

Addressing micro-aggressions, bullying, & discrimination

Symmetra provides education on the dynamics of privilege and the impact that discriminatory behaviours are having on the workplace.

Building competencies to stand up

And serve as equity advocates, to demonstrate clear expectations of inclusive behavior norms that are required to have a sustainable diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture.

Unconscious bias training

Our training and tools help to identify and effectively manage assumptions and biases that can perpetuate discriminatory behaviours and practices.

Systemic and cultural transformation

We assist in redesigning policies and practices to be more inclusive in creating a company culture that strives to eliminate norms, attitudes, and behaviours that negatively impact non-majority employees
