EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS PANEL: Developing Skills for the Next Generation of Corporate Leaders
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are no longer small, informal groups for people with common identities and interests. With increased focus and attention by corporations to the specific interests of Latinos, ERGs now provide valuable resources for advanced leadership and growth opportunities. More than just focusing on career advancement, ERGs help companies expand into new markets, exert influence, create meaningful messaging, and build opportunities for shared success.
