Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups that focus on fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. ERGs provide a platform for employees with shared characteristics or interests to connect, support each other, and advocate for positive change within the organization. These groups often focus on areas such as gender, ethnicity, LGBTQ+ issues, and veterans.

For instance, a multinational corporation might have ERGs for women in leadership, employees of different cultural backgrounds, and LGBTQ+ employees. ERGs help create a sense of community, provide opportunities for professional development, and promote diversity and inclusion. By supporting ERGs, organizations can enhance employee engagement, attract diverse talent, and foster a more inclusive culture.
