ERGs help direct #leadership toward urgent concerns specific to various groups, ensuring tailored DEI efforts and the organization’s response to the outside
🔹Providing Ongoing Feedback and Communication on DEI Strategy
ERGs can play a pivotal role in enhancing DEI #strategies by acting as a bridge between employees from underrepresented groups and leadership, ensuring continuous feedback and dynamic communication on true blockers of inclusion.
🔹Contact with Diverse Suppliers
Beyond internal operations, ERGs can extend their influence to the supply chain by providing connections with diverse #suppliers, fostering an inclusive business environment.
🔹Connecting the Organization with Communities
ERGs have the potential to strengthen ties between organizations and local #communities through outreach programs and support, increasing the pool of diverse talents and demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility.
