OutPro Forum: Best Practices for Employee Resource Groups

August 6 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) can greatly enhance the engagement of your employees, create a sense of belonging, and drive key community outreach initiatives that exceed your diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals. Hear from a panel of leaders who will share best practices and how to create an ERG program that truly makes an impact on employees and your organization.

Whether you’re brand new to the concept of ERGs or if your organization has had them established for years, this discussion will provide insights for establishing a successful ERG initiative that will last, no matter your organization’s size or journey. The conversation will be relevant to anyone who has a vested interest in belonging, including DEI professionals, HR professionals, ERG leaders and participants, and individuals seeking to make an impact in their organization.

OutPro promotes a welcoming culture for LGBTQIA+ individuals in the West Michigan business community and offers opportunities for education and networking with an emphasis on policy impact, assisting businesses, and creating a more inclusive and welcoming work environment for LGBTQIA+ individuals.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend OutPro events. You do not need to identify as LGBTQIA+ to participate.
