Whether it’s: - Employee experience goals, like creating an inclusive workspace; - HR-level goals, like boosting retention rates among diverse groups; or - Business-level goals, like diversifying the company’s client base.

One of the biggest challenges for ERGs in a remote-first world? Keeping people truly connected and engaged. Zoom fatigue (or Teams fatigue, or Slack fatigue, or…) and lack of face-to-face interaction make it tough, but there are ways to overcome these hurdles. During our ERG Summit session titled “Bridging Distance: Best Practices for ERG Engagement in a Virtual First Workplace,” Laura Torres, MBA, PHR shared some effective strategies for increasing ERG engagement virtually: 1. Get creative with virtual events: Standard video calls just don’t cut it anymore! Try mixing things up with interactive activities like virtual coffee chats, cooking demos, or even game nights. Variety keeps things fresh and keeps members engaged. 2. Build a strong communication strategy: Consistent, appealing communication is key. Use newsletters, internal ERG pages, and work with your internal comms team to keep members informed about events and updates. When members feel in the loop, they’re more likely to stay involved. 3. Focus on connection: Encourage collaboration between ERGs and host virtual open houses to give new members a chance to see what it’s all about. For those working remotely, consider recording events for flexible viewing, and organize in-person meetups for areas with high concentrations of remote employees. Creating a sense of community in a virtual setting takes some extra effort, but with a mix of engaging events, clear communication, and a focus on connection, ERGs can keep the momentum going, no matter where their members are based.

Did you know I was a mental health social worker? Technically still am! ?? When Dumebi Egbuna asked me to be a guest on Chezie's Intent to Impact Podcast (thanks for having me!!), I knew I wanted to draw from my past experience as a social worker and connect it to my current work as a DEI practitioner leading ERGs at Chegg Inc. We had a fantastic discussion on the ERGs at Chegg are doing, the importance of mental health in the workplace, and how companies can adapt their cultures to meet the evolving expectations of today’s workforce (hello, Gen Z ??). While I wish we had even more time to dive deeper into these important topics, I’m grateful for the chance to scratch the surface and reflect on the work I do to build inclusive and supportive environments. I won’t spoil too much, but if you’re interested in DEI, mental health, employee engagement, or how to support your ERGs and employees more effectively, you’ll definitely want to give this episode a listen. ??? #MentalHealthAtWork #EmployeeWellbeing #ERGLeaders #WorkplaceCulture #LifeAtChegg
