Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
ERG Leaders are working
“I can tell you that running an ERG is work. Being on the committee is work.
Organising activities and events is work. In fact playing any ongoing role in an employee resource group is work”
ERG Leaders cooperate with people who are paid
“The DEI Leader gets paid Leadership money. The Executive sponsor gets paid Executive money. The ERG Leader gets paid no money”
Not paying ERG Leaders may be considered to be exploitation
“getting people who are from an identity group that is under performing, under represented to do more work than everyone else.
In an organisation where they may not have the same advantages as everyone else. To benefit everyone else…. doesn’t seem smart”
Here are some resources so you can go deeper:
