 | Today's business climate demands affinity groups move beyond providing social/networking support and advising diversity champions; they must be leaders in driving organizational objectives of the highest order.
To be viewed as strategic partners, Employee Resource Group activities must drive top-level business objectives and foster an inclusive culture throughout the enterprise. Beyond Affinity enables Employee Resource Groups to make this happen.
Beyond Affinity is first and foremost a framework for managing organization-wide ERG programs and individual ERGs, but its value extends into other areas. The model can help organizations to strengthen any diversity, inclusion, or engagement initiative.
In a consultative, facilitator-led working session, your ERG leaders will:- Explore how ERGs can achieve business impact by leading meaningful initiatives that engage more people.
- Analyze the mission and goals of your ERGs to ensure alignment with organizational business drivers.
- Assess planned initiatives for impact and effectiveness and explore ways to move them from events to sustainable processes.
- Outline business plans, using tools and templates.
- Create strategies to develop compelling communications for stakeholder and sponsor audiences.
