For the past nine years, Seramount has recognized the important efforts of employee resource groups (ERGs) in driving inclusion in their workplaces and communities through our ERG Impact Awards, formerly known as the Above and Beyond Awards. We celebrate the remarkable achievements of the 2025 ERG Impact Awards winners and honorable mentions, recognizing their impactful ERG initiatives from July 2023 through June 2024.
Awards categories include Business Impact, Community Impact, Workplace Culture Impact, Workforce Impact, Trailblazer, ERG Collaboration, ERG Leadership, and Valued Ally.
In 2024, we received hundreds of submissions across the eight categories. All submissions were part of a multistage review process conducted by a panel of judges consisting of external thought leaders, subject-matter experts, and members of the Seramount team.
Seramount acknowledges how the evolving landscape of workplace inclusion amid shifting legal, political, and social challenges has impacted how organizations navigate recognition and awards. For this year’s ERG Impact Awards, we met companies where they were while providing flexible options for recognition. Our lineup of honorees in traditional categories may look different this year. Nevertheless, this year validated how ERGs, especially now, continue to be a consistent source of pride, inclusion, and support for employees, the organization, and the business in many ways. This is demonstrated by the wonderful honorees recognized this year.
We thank every organization that took the time to highlight their ERGs and the important work that they continue to do. We hope organizations learn from this year’s awardees while continuing to move the needle forward. Congratulations to the 2025 ERG Impact Awards honorees!
