Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) play a vital role in fostering an inclusive environment in the workplace. Groups supporting diversity and inclusion, women’s networks, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, multicultural or ethnic groups, parenting networks, and mental health initiatives contribute to a thriving community. Among these, resources and support for employees with disabilities are especially important. Since the disability community spans across all demographics, it is crucial to harness intersectionality within ERGs so that diverse perspectives can be heard. Plus, according to a study by the National Organization on Disability, inclusive practices can increase employee engagement by 30%. Join PowerToFly’s Lex Keaton as they highlight the need for ERGs to support diverse identities, enhancing innovation and overall company culture.
