Creating and Managing ERGs

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are central to an effective DEI strategy. Not only do ERGs provide benefits to their members, they can provide tremendous insights to the business and support the achievement of business objectives. The creation of ERGs in your organization must be deliberate, well planned, flawlessly implemented, and provide the opportunity to grow and scale as employee interests expand. Cockerham & Associates consulting and technology services will help you get there.

Managing the growth and well-being of your Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Business Resource (BRGs) can be daunting, whether it is building an infrastructure for support of ERG leaders, selecting and implementing necessary software, or managing cost.
