Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are playing an increasingly valuable role in organizations as they directly address the growing social needs of businesses which leads to higher employee satisfaction. By creating affinity groups around identity, interest, or other shared traits, companies actively encourage deeper involvement by the workforce, which has not only a positive impact on culture, but also strategy and performance. In fact, studies show that companies with engaged employees outperform those without them by a whopping 202%.
Since 2009, CEO has been at the forefront of research on ERGs and the business impact they have on complex organizations. Today, CEO continues to enhance that research with interviews and performance data to develop and encourage ERG leaders, support their organizations, and help them both to thrive.
Surprisingly, despite the prevalence of ERGs in the business world, there has been very little research done on them. That’s why, having be focused on the issue for over a decade, CEO’s findings represent some of the most cutting- edge and comprehensive knowledge in the field.
