Frequently Asked Questions

What are Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)?

ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. They typically organise around shared characteristics, experiences, or interests, providing support, enhancing career development, and contributing to organisational goals.

How many employees do we need to start an ERG?

While there's no magic number, successful ERGs typically start with 10-15 committed members. More important than size is having passionate leaders, clear objectives, and organisational support. We help you assess readiness and build momentum.

What support do ERGs need from leadership?

Successful ERGs need executive sponsorship, dedicated budget, time for activities, recognition for leaders, and integration with business objectives. We help establish governance structures and secure the resources needed for success.

How do you measure ERG impact?

We establish metrics across multiple dimensions: membership growth, engagement levels, professional development outcomes, retention rates, innovation contributions, and business impact. Each ERG receives a customised measurement framework.

Can ERGs include allies?

Absolutely! Inclusive ERGs that welcome allies often have greater impact and help build broader organisational support for DEI initiatives. We help design membership models that balance community building with inclusive participation.
