Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are more than just employee networks—they are catalysts for fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the workplace. While these groups empower employees to share experiences and drive cultural change, their success hinges on collaboration with key stakeholders. This blog explores how professionals and organizations can unlock the full potential of ERGs/BRGs by aligning efforts across roles, from frontline employees to executives.
