Why should HR Leaders care about Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)?
1. Increased Employee Satisfaction: The role of HR in any organization is to ensure the well-being of all employees and to make them feel included and heard. This is precisely the exercise promoted by ERGs.
2. Reduced Employee Turnover: With increased employee satisfaction comes reduced employee turnover. As a result, these groups ultimately work in favor of the HR managers.
3. Reduced Challenges: With different groups addressing common issues faced by people coming from a certain background, the overall challenges get reduced.
