Abstract: Abstract An ally is often characterised as an individual member of a traditionally dominant group who advocates and works in support of marginalized group members. In contrast, this chapter explores how effective workplace allyship can manifest and be promoted at the organizational level. Drawing upon key critical human resource development practices, a model (the Institutional Allyship Model) is constructed to outline the specific role the HRD function can take in promoting allyship at the organizational level, and how organizations can relate, change, organize and learn in order to act as an ally for marginalized group members. Further recommendations regarding allyship are provided for organizations, and for future researchers interested in this concept and practice.
