Q

Also known as an affinity group or network group, is a voluntary group for employees who share a particular diversity dimension (race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.).

A

Employee resource group

  • ERGs can be a valuable information resource for demographic markets and employee engagement and development. They can also serve a critical support role in diversity and inclusion strategic initiatives. While the key leadership role is usually performed by the corporation’s diversity council, ERGs can fill the pipeline with prospective candidates for the diversity council.*
  • They can provide support to new employees during the onboarding period. Support can take the form of networking, mentoring, or advocacy.​ A critical element of ERGs is that they are self-selecting.*

DiversityInc. recommends formal charters for ERGs.
