Establishing and Maintaining Successful Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

This toolkit offers information on how to start, implement and maintain disability-focused ERGs to support your organization's diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) efforts.

Employee resource groups (ERGs) are an effective tool for advancing organizations’ diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives, including the recruitment of diverse talent such as people with disabilities. ERGs help support organizational efforts to recruit, hire, retain and advance diverse talent and benefit from the wide range of thoughts, perspectives, cultures and experiences they bring to the workplace.
