Cargill Inclusion & Diversity

Cargill Employee Perspectives

What do you do in your day-to-day work (and beyond) to serve as an ally?

While life is always busy, I try to consciously notice the demeanor of others and see changes in their moods (in other words: “read the room”). So, if I see out-of-character behaviors, I directly address them. Doing so creates the space for others to share what is really going on. I can only help if I can see what is happening through the eyes of others.

What is your best advice for others who want to become better allies?

Everyone has a voice; everyone has influence. Recognizing and being conscious of that is how you can become an effective ally. Start by understanding your role in the environments in which you operate. Your allyship must be unique to you for it to be authentic.

Kelly Olin, Senior Vice President of Digital Technology & Data
