Employee Resource Groups that Engage and Add Value
If you’ve ever enjoyed lime or chili flavored snack chips, you have an Employee Resource Group to thank. Employee or Business Resource Groups (ERGs / BRGs) are voluntary employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a diverse, inclusive workplace and support business goals. They are organized around shared backgrounds or experiences such as gender, ethnicity, racial, lifestyles, or interests. By providing support in personal and career development for employees, they help foster a sense of belonging and engagement. Many of the most successful and well-regarded companies have active ERGs that have proven to be a valuable resource to achieving business goals. Frequent examples of their contributions are seen in areas such as recruiting underrepresented talent, offering new product ideas, and making new connections to customers and the community.
This program introduces you to: what Affinity, Employee Resource, and Business Resource Groups are; how ERGs can increase employee engagement; the crucial role of executives; best practices for organizing and establishing ERGs; how ERGs can provide a valued resource to achieving business goals; and things you want to know but were afraid to ask, such as how to get started at your company.
Leadership for an Inclusive Culture
Direct supervisors and managers have the biggest impact on their employees’ experience. The culture of an employee’s immediate group or team becomes the standard of how the entire organization is viewed. By creating a culture of inclusiveness and high engagement, employees are most likely to stay and do their best work, and the organization can activate the potential advantages of a diverse workforce.
Resiliency Skills
Resiliency, the ability to respond to or recover readily from a crisis or difficult and disruptive situation, is essential for personal and professional development. Attendees will be given a brief overview of the science of resilience and will learn how to respond in the moment with gratitude, mindfulness, and values-based goals.
