Establishing Employee resource groups (ERGs) for underrepresented colleagues in the workplace is a key foundational step in fostering support and beginning to address inequality within a business. ERGs have been a vital part of the EDI governance in business, providing a voice for colleagues and support system to help develop the ED&I strategy.
Striking the right balance in defining the role and remit of ERGs, how they fit into an inclusion strategy and ensuring effective collaboration between ERG, Inclusion teams and business leaders is essential to delivering on your EDI ambitions. When the balance isn't right, it can leave all parties feeling frustrated, overworked and undervalued.
