ERG Value Proposition: Employee Resource Groups continue to face their main challenge: member engagement. Rather than a challenge in itself, often member apathy is a symptom of an ERG lacking a defined value proposition. In this call, we will outline the way ERGs can balance 3 areas to deliver value: to their membership, their company and their community.

Dialogues on Gender Identity: Equality in the workplace based on Gender Identity has emerged as a major focus for companies in all sectors and around the world.  If you get transgender-inclusive benefits points on the Corporate Equality Index, is that all your company needs to do?  If you identify as transgender does that mean you will need to use the company transition plan or are you just changing your name and pronoun preference? If your ERG is working to be trans-inclusive, what are the best practices and what are some step by step ways to reach your inclusion goals?  Finally, how might you handle basic gender-identity-related workplace situations that face HR professionals, managers, allies and LGBT employees?
