Employee Resource Groups (ERG) Specialty Programs

Our ERG Specialty Programs are designed to strengthen, professionalize, and future-proof Employee Resource Groups as strategic drivers of culture, talent, and business impact. In a rapidly evolving workplace, ERG leaders are being asked to do more with greater clarity, accountability, and influence. Our integrated ERG offerings equip leaders with the skills, tools, and strategic grounding needed to lead confidently through change while delivering measurable value to their organizations.

We support ERG leaders and sponsors through a comprehensive ecosystem of summits, certifications, coaching, and practical resources, meeting ERGs where they are while preparing them for what’s next.

Our ERG Summits convene ERG leaders, executive sponsors, and practitioners for immersive, high-impact learning and connection. These experiences focus on emerging trends, best practices, and real-world challenges facing ERGs today ranging from organizational alignment and member engagement to leadership sustainability and executive partnership. Participants leave with renewed clarity, peer insight, and actionable strategies they can immediately apply within their ERGs.
