Purpose
Starting an Employee Resources Group (ERG) for your parents and caregivers is an important step towards building an inclusive, family-friendly workplace where they can feel encouraged to bring their best selves to work. There is significant research that demonstrates employee-driven initiatives are more likely to succeed than HR or Company driven initiatives.
When employees choose to engage in causes they care about and are empowered to own the decision making process, they become great advocates for the company as well as the groups or initiatives they are supporting. And the best part? You won’t need to do this alone anymore as you’ll have a dedicated group of parents and caregivers by your side to help you create an amazing employee experience for all working families within your organisation.
