Future of Community: Solving for Connection

Loneliness is rising—and with it, serious impacts on health, productivity, and community well-being. The Future of Community initiative aims to reverse this trend by developing practical, research-driven strategies that make in-person connection easier and more accessible. We’re currently laying the groundwork with a focus on convening experts, designing interventions, and building lasting solutions.

From Inclusion to Business Impact: ERGs in 2025

Explore how your ERGs are making a difference—and how to measure it. In 2025, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) continue to evolve beyond inclusion efforts to become powerful drivers of strategy, culture, and business results. To support that shift, we invite you to take advantage of two no-cost research opportunities designed to strengthen and showcase the impact of your ERGs. The “Annual ERG Leader and Member Impact Study” and “The Work of ERGs” provide valuable data, benchmarks, and insights that help organizations like yours activate and elevate the work of ERGs.
