Tools for Allyship and Dealing with Trauma and Grief

We have been shaken to our core by the tragic and heartbreaking acts of racism and injustice against Black Americans – these acts have no place in our society.  At BetterUp, our mission is rooted in the belief that diversity, inclusion, and belonging are absolutely essential to creating the workplaces to which we aspire. While we recognize that talking about issues of race and inequality can be challenging and uncomfortable, no moment has felt more ripe for an opening to expand discussions about racial inequality, unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, and belonging.

So, what comes next? We must and can do better. To that end, we have included resources below that provide actionable ideas on how to effectively serve as an ally to underrepresented groups, strategies to combat unconscious bias, and how to create a safe, inclusive environment for everyone on your team.  These resources can help you think through the appropriate response that’s aligned with your personal values and help you cultivate the skills and practices to build inclusive workplaces and communities.
