This guide explores how special interest groups (SIGs)—employee-led clubs built around shared hobbies, skills, or passions—foster connection, engagement, and belonging at work. It outlines how SIGs differ from ERGs, shares best practices for forming and sustaining them, and highlights examples of how companies balance informal community-building with DEI strategy. Leaders will find insights on structuring SIGs, connecting them to company culture, and navigating challenges around governance and inclusivity.
