The critical role of ERGs in supporting LGBTQ+ employees
Published on

Executive summary
As Pride-related efforts become more complex in today’s polarized climate, internal structures like employee resource groups (ERGs) are more vital than ever. LGBTQ+ ERGs — often the first ERGs established within organizations — have long led the way in creating community, advancing leadership, and driving cultural change from within.
Join us for a timely conversation on how LGBTQ+ ERGs can continue to anchor inclusion and allyship despite competing external pressures.
In this webinar, we’ll explore:
- Why ERGs are uniquely positioned to support LGBTQ+ belonging in uncertain times.
- Strategies to move beyond performative allyship to support your LGBTQ+ employees.
- How to embed LGBTQ+ inclusion into your long-term business strategy.
