Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary employee associations that aim to build an equitable and inclusive community and ensure employees experience a greater sense of psychological safety and belonging. These voluntary employee associations, organized around common dimensions of diversity, have been designed to offer forums where like-minded employees and allies can enhance their employee experience.
