An employee resource groups (ERG) is a voluntary, employee-led group that fosters a diverse, inclusive workplace. ERGs are professional networks that bring together employees with shared characteristics, experiences, or interests, creating supportive communities within organizations. 

Typically, ERGs represent various dimensions of diversity, including race, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, veterans, and other underrepresented groups.

ERGs serve multiple purposes:

• Provide a sense of belonging and support for employees
• Create networking and professional development opportunities
• Offer insights to leadership about workplace culture and employee experiences
• Support recruitment and retention efforts
• Contribute to the organization's diversity and inclusion strategy

But without the right ERG management software, it may be impossible for your organization to harness the power of ERGs for all their benefits to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) and social impact.
