All too often, DEI professionals are asked to launch Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)/Affinity Groups on the fly with nary any guidance on how to structure them, launch them, or facilitate the discussions. This session is a crash course into ERGs/Affinity Groups with a focus on how to facilitate them. We will go from the conception of the idea through launch of the ERG/Affinity Group with a focus on facilitating discussions such that you learn how to cultivate safe, brave spaces. We are going to learn (a lot, I hope) and have a little fun. Remember: ERGs/Affinity Groups are your friend.
