About this panel discussion: 

Your employee resource groups (ERGs) are essential in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. They provide opportunities for employees to connect and help in creating a sense of belonging for everyone throughout your organization. ERGs also empower employees by giving them a collective voice to speak with senior leadership teams.

Many organizations are looking to their ERGs to help elevate employees' voices on community issues, needs, and policies -- and with many people choosing to work remotely, DEI leaders are looking for best practices to adapt ERGs and drive participation in hybrid environments. 

But with the complexity of this work, how are DEI leaders setting up ERGs for success and tying them to broader diversity, equity, and inclusion goals and strategic business decisions?
