ERG structures can vary widely based on an organization’s unique overall framework, culture, and preferences. However, regardless of the type, a consistent structure should be maintained across all ERGs within the organization.
This raises the question: how do your ERGs relate to one another and fit into the larger organizational framework? Decisions made by your organization and DEI team regarding structure will influence ERG governance and reporting. These choices will also affect how ERGs connect to the business through key touchpoints with the DEI team, executive sponsors, and other internal partners (such as DEI councils, HR, and other relevant business units).
This resource includes different types of ERG structures, featuring samples from Seramount Partners.
