Did you know that participating in an Employee Resource Group (ERG) can help you advance your career?
Over the past few years, ERGs have gained popularity, providing a safe space for employees to share their experiences and challenges. But they aren’t just social networks, they provide leadership skill-building opportunities for team members interested in advancing their careers.
Pia Adolphsen (Women's Circle ERG), Selina Boyce (Black and Brown ERG), and Mia Vasser (Culture Manager) are leaders in different ERGs at CallRail and have seen first-hand how these groups can help someone develop professional skills and advance in their career.
Join us as Pia, Selina, and Mia share their experiences leading ERGs and how you can leverage ERGs to foster career growth.
We’ll talk about:
Mia (pronounced Maya) Vasser is a dynamic Culture, Diversity & Inclusion Program Manager.
Mia’s expertise includes building business partnerships, leading highly effective teams, and delivering innovative strategies to promote accountability and awareness around diversity and inclusion. As a strategic thought leader, Mia is committed to engaging in efforts that lead to organizational change.
In her work in both the corporate and media industries, Mia has been an integral partner for change management. With a background in Communications, Business Leadership, and DEI, Mia understands the value of increasing employee engagement and skillful talent recruitment and hiring.
Using her skills of public speaking, event planning, discipleship, and inclusivity training, Mia is passionate about connecting people and experiences together. Transforming community, making connections, and living experiences is a mantra and way of life for Mia. The driving force behind her life’s vision is unity.
When Mia is not fostering and nurturing "community" in corporate organizations, you can find her volunteering or solo jaunting around the world.
