ERGs: A Vital Resource in Times of Disruption and Crisis

Employee Resource Groups are a vital part of many organizations’ diversity and inclusion strategy. Over the years, we have seen them progress from social networks to professional development networks and in recent years to business impact networks. ERGs contribute to their organizations across all priority areas including business impact, community engagement, recruitment and advancement efforts and workplace culture. In times of major disruption, ERGs can be a valuable tool in continuing to support your day to day operations while at the same time mobilizing to respond to crisis whether it be internal or external.
