Join us for an enriching 1-hour session where we will delve into practical approaches for creating and scaling impactful Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). In this session, we will explore how to foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and convergence (DEIC) in the workplace by establishing strong ERG structures, setting clear goals, and compensating ERG leaders. Engage in real talk about tangible activities that effectively involve and empower ERGs, and gain insights into creating an inclusive environment where ERGs can thrive and make a meaningful impact. Whether you are looking to start new ERGs or enhance your existing ones, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to drive their effectiveness and contribute to a diverse and inclusive workplace culture. Don't miss this opportunity to empower your ERGs and unlock their potential for positive change.

This Community AMA Series will be hosted with Jes Osrow, COO & DEIBA Specialist at The Rise Journey.

Jes leads research initiatives for The Rise Journey’s annual "State of the Employee Resource Group Report" which analyzes ERG lead compensation and budgeting trends and provides structural best practices in order to enable a more equitable future of work. The 3rd edition of the report was recently published and can be accessed here: https://www.therisejourney.com/blog/2022-erg-report

What is the purpose of the Community "Ask Me Anything" series?

The whole point of the Community "Ask Me Anything" series is to give our amazing Culture First community members a chance to tap into the knowledge of subject matter experts in HR, people, and culture. We want to cover a wide range of topics, from the nitty-gritty of starting a career in HR to the latest trends shaking up the market. It's all about creating a space where our community can learn together and even contribute their own insights.

An AMA (Ask Me Anything) is a Q&A format where one person — usually an expert in their field or topic — opens the floor to fellow community members to ask questions on anything. Members can come with relevant questions, and experts can share insight that draws from their knowledge
