This guide highlights best practices and examples for naming women’s employee resource groups (ERGs) with inclusivity and gender awareness in mind. It explains why terms like “female” can be exclusionary and encourages using language that embraces all who identify as women, including transgender and nonbinary employees. The report features ERG names from leading organizations—such as EY’s Professional Women’s Network, Constellation Brands’ WISE, and Bayer’s GROW—and underscores that names should reflect empowerment, community, and belonging while aligning with company culture and values.
