Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led organizations within a company that focus on creating a supportive community for individuals with shared backgrounds, interests, or experiences, such as racial or ethnic identity, gender, LGBTQ+ status, or disability. ERGs aim to foster diversity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging in the workplace. They often provide networking opportunities, professional development, and a platform for discussing issues that impact members. ERGs can also help companies by offering insights into diverse perspectives and improving employee engagement and retention.
