Employee Resource Group Leadership Program
Employee Resource Groups are Key to Employee Engagement and Retention
They are also key to creating an inclusive environment that fosters belonging and outsized performance. Companies with inclusive organizations have 50% less turnover (Betterup, 2019) and are 2x likely to meet or exceed financial targets and 3x as likely to be high performing (Bourke, 2016).
