MALE ALLIES RESOURCES

Whether the men in your business are business leaders wanting to challenge themselves to think and behave in a more inclusive way, or they are just starting out in their careers and want to understand how they can cultivate their role as a male ally, we’ve created a toolkit of practical advice and inspirational role models to guide them. 

While some of the resources below are for our global community of everywomanNetwork members, many more are free to access. We welcome browsing from individuals and organisations who want to make inclusion an everyday reality. And should you wish to go further and require our help in creating a truly inclusive culture at your workplace, we’d love to hear from you

COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS PUBLICATION

The 5 courageous conversations all women’s networks need to have

In the summer of 2023, everywoman hosted a virtual roundtable attended by everywomanChampions, our unique network bringing together those passionate men and women driving the gender agenda within their business . We asked them to nominate the key conversations that all employee resource groups (ERGs) need to prioritise to influence change.

ON DEMAND WEBINARS

Male allyship is a crucial part of achieving a fairer workplace, as it includes playing an active role in helping marginalised colleagues advance. In this session, our panel discusses what male allyship looks like, how we create more male allies and how men and women can better work together to accelerate progress. 

everywoman Founder Maxine Benson is joined by special guests Pierre Dupont (Accenture) and Sue Gregory-Phillips (Centrica)  to explore some of the most pressing questions about male allyship in 2021 and beyond. 

This webinar looks at what it means to be a male ally and a powerful advocate for inclusion and ways to take this forward in your own life – while also encouraging it in others.

Despite growing awareness and efforts, male mental health is still a taboo topic. Accepting vulnerabilities and talking about and sharing mental health challenges is the only way to normalise these conversations and take another step in the right direction.

Head of Diversity and Inclusion for M&G Mark McLane has led conversations at board level around diversity and inclusion for over 20 years. In this on demand  webinar he discusses how we can fast-track D&I awareness and action – in ourselves and in our organisations.

Everywoman recognises the crucial contribution male allies make to the diversity and inclusion conversation. That’s why we introduced the ‘Male Agent of Change’ and the ‘Male Mentor’ awards, to celebrate their hard work. We catch up with some of these award winners, to see what advice they’d give to those who want to progress D&I in their organisation.
