ERGs in Action: Driving DEI in Distributed Work

​In our ever-evolving world of remote and hybrid work combined with our increased focus on DEI, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) have taken center stage as a pivotal instrument in empowering underrepresented communities, fostering inclusive workplaces, and driving forward progressive company policies. Yet, their potential remains largely untapped in many organizations, especially in diverse, remote settings.

​Join us in this collaborative panel session with our expert host Stephanie Bergman and Clea Arrieta from Bright & Early to delve deeper into ERGs in remote settings, exploring how to initiate, nurture, and drive impact with these groups, especially when your team is spread across various geographical places.

​In this edition of People Builders, we’ll dive into:

• ​Determining the Right ERGs: How to determine which ERGs can render the most meaningful impact within your organization.

• ​Sustaining the Spark: Best practices to maintain momentum and enthusiasm among ERG members.

• ​Empowerment 101: Effective strategies for empowering and giving a voice to your ERGs.

• ​Geo-Specific ERGs: Balancing the diverse needs of teams distributed through the US, Philippines, and Ireland. When and how should ERGs be split based on geographical considerations?

​Whether you're contemplating the introduction of ERGs or seeking to improve existing ones, you will come away from this session with actionable insights.
