Since the Civil Rights Movement, employee resource groups (ERGs) have played a key role in enabling inclusion, creating a sense of belonging, and supporting employee retention at companies.

As the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) industry encounters legal attacks, practitioners are faced with shifting company goals and reduced budgets, impacting ERG engagement and effectiveness.

Whether you are part of an ERG, want to start one, or want to support existing ERGs in your organization - this class is for you! Join us to learn the history of ERGs, their opportunities and challenges in the workplace, and opportunities to engage from your position of influence within your organization.

You will leave with a greater understanding of:

1. Why ERGs were created and their significance to your organization
2. How ERGs can contribute to your team’s business goals
3. Ways to get involved with ERGs based on your role in the organization
