Rising Star
We do and it’s generously funded. Any specific questions?
How does funding get supported and what sort of year round programs are provided to employees?
Nope. I'd say it is because of the lack of leaders committing to the task. Well, I'd add a lack of support from the company. How about in your company, OP?
We do have one. And we have frequent meetings along with opportunities on giving back. I will say that some folks are fond of our ERG, being that LGBTQ+ subjects are sensitive to some. Which we respect. But it’s never stopped us from getting support from the higher ups or hosting events. Are you working for a large company or smaller-based company?
No we do not. I really wish we did though.
We don't, but you just gave me a great idea! I'll go see if we can get one started since there's actually quite a handful of us here. I don't think there's any real reason behind why it doesn't exist in our company. Does yours have one?
We do! It’s a well-run ERG. For California we have about 50-60 members. However, some regions don’t have folks running it. We do year round programs where we give back to our community by volunteering for various causes and/or give money to non-profits in our region. If you need advice or have questions on starting one, or how to navigate through presenting it, let me know! Happy to help
How about we stop dividing and labeling people? The only thing that matters at work is can you perform your job!
I disagree. The purpose of an ERG isn’t to divide or label people. It helps promote a work-life balance and allows us to increase diverse backgrounds. Yes, performance is key but what our company represents is important. Our ERG for example volunteers and gives back to the organization but also provides education to our employees and any ally who may not be aware on I.e, gender pronouns, employees who are transitioning, coming out and so it allows folks to be authentic in the work place.
yes
Yes we have and our employees love us for it. I love that we are getting more and more progressive in our company. Hoping that others can follow suit.
We do at the moment, but that's because we have a big enough organization where enough people are interested in driving it forward
That’s good. What are some best practices that helps it going?
Are you inviting people to a new bowl, or asking about LGBTQ+ policy?
I think both a Q and joining a new bowl!
Not at the moment. I am really hoping we could push this through next year.
