LinkedIn wants to position itself as a source of information and guidance on making the workplace more inclusive for LGBTQIA+ professionals. So, it developed a research methodology to quantify how performative allyship falls short and highlight the ally gap.
​
To launch the new tool, we humanized the ally gap, by making them a real person.
​
Meet Ally Gap.
​
Ally is an Equity & Inclusion Consultant who endorses and oversees the business world’s treatment of the queer community.

Equity & Inclusion Consultant
As a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion specialist, I have had the privilege and opportunity to improve the culture at countless well-known organizations, particularly in regards to the experience of the LGBTQIA+ community. I love to help businesses thrive and create companies employees are proud to work for. I am an expert in helping professionals look inward at the policies and systems that create inequity and exclusion in order to cultivate vibrant, diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces.
The breakdown of Ally’s bids for connection will ultimately be used to unveil the newest addition to LinkedIn’s platform.

Jim Landon at Landon Estates showed such passion for improving the work experience for his LGBTQIA+ employees from the jump! Together we were able to hone in on his blindspots and ensure company policies were fair and just for every member of his staff. I am confident Jim now has the proper tools to be a true ally for his queer colleagues and endorse him wholeheartedly.

To get the word out IRL, LinkedIn will install interactive glass panels at financial landmarks. Not only will the panels state data collected through the Ally Gap research tool, but they will feature a familiar face.
