Introduction
Employee resource groups (ERGs) have been a part of corporate life since the 1960s, but they are growing in popularity. In fact that number of ERGs at companies rose more than 20% between 2021 and 2022, according to The Rise Journey. As employees look for support within their organizations and companies aim to foster engagement, ERGs create a sense of belonging and advance diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals. With all this, it’s becoming more and more apparent how valuable these internal communities of employees really are in today’s workplace.
This article explores what employee resource groups are and how they benefit companies, as well as offer ERG examples and best practices.
