Making Meaningful Institutional Changes: using ERGs to create safety and inclusion for all employees.
Friday February 7, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm MST
ECC - Salon 01
In the first half of this session, employees from Black Gold Schools will lead you through the story of their first year starting and running Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). You will learn what an ERG is, and how it can offer a meaningful internal community of shared identities (racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, etc) that offers a route to equity and inclusion in the workplace. You will leave this session with access to a folder of all our resources (PD we have completed and offered, info on how to structure meetings, etc). In the second half of this session, we will offer a panel discussion where participants will have the opportunity to ask ERG members questions, as well as anything else related to our pursuit of a more inclusive workplace.
