2015 Out & Equal Workplace Summit

The trajectory of ally engagement in the workplace has been meteoric, changing the face of network groups, the case for inclusion, and perceptions of the equality movement. However, once allies own their power as changemakers, the hard work begins. While there’s much to be gained from the work of allies – and the work of LGBT people making change in the workplace – it sometimes comes at a high price. Living up to expectations, honoring commitments to lifelong learning and advocacy, and creating thriving LGBT-ally partnerships in network groups can lead to burnout. Learn about what this looks like, how to spot it in yourself and others, consider ways to address challenges on personal and organizational levels, and ensure the way YOU ally stays powerful.
