• This is the first authoritative book on building employee resource groups (ERGs) to empower underrepresented employees and positively impact diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts within organizations and in society at large.
• In existence for decades, ERGs originated out of affirmative action policies and have evolved into powerful sources of employee activity and engagement.
• Organizations can leverage ERGs to support business goals, but ERGs can also play a critical role in creating a more inclusive work environment for marginalized individuals.
• ERGs represent a balance of serving company interests and empowering employees, offering the opportunity for innovative leadership within organizations.
• This book is a practical guide on how to manage ERGs effectively and how they inspire a deeper connection between employees and companies while helping us progress toward the DEI goals that we aim to accomplish.
• Participating in an ERG can help professionals of color and other historically excluded groups advance their careers, thereby increasing diverse representation in leadership.
• Farzana Nayani provides foundational tools for starting ERGs and outlines the five Ps--purpose, people, processes, planning, and priorities--needed to successfully operate them.
• Unlike other ERG handbooks, this book is people-centric and socially conscious and thoughtfully takes into account the experiences of employees and leaders during current times.
• It also serves as a deeper call to action around how ERGs can foster authentic change within organizations, creating transformative impact in the surrounding world.
