We're proud to introduce 'Allies for Inclusion' - a campaign to create awareness on allyship and add to a growing community of allies that help champion and drive an equitable and inclusive culture.   To kick off the message, we asked Pushkaraj Gumaste, Head of Corporate Banking for Asia Pacific & Middle East, Executive Sponsor - Win APAC ERG, to tell us what allyship means to him. Here's what he had to say.   "Allyship means respect, being valued and included. Essentially, how do I stand up or speak up for what is right and empower others. In the workplace, what role can each of us play as individuals to support the growth of our colleagues to level the playing field. Research has shown that a diverse workplace leads to diversity of thought, which in turn leads to better business outcomes.   Allyship has been integral in both my professional and personal journeys - Throughout my career I have had good bosses and helpful colleagues who consistently challenge me to bring the best version of myself to the workplace each and every single day.   Being a good Ally and promoting gender diversity is a challenge and sympathising with the issue is not enough. I call on all of you to act – See it, Own it, Fix it. If you believe that something is not right, act on it. If my doctor tells me to lose weight, I will do it. In the same way, we need to make Allyship deeply personal and take action."   Read more on inclusion at Barclays: https://lnkd.in/dq3i_Ua2
