Fostering an Equitable, Inclusive, and Racially. Just Organization Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), whether formal or informal, standing or ad hoc, are a powerful way to build community and support employees with similar identities and/or roles at the Organization. ERGs include affinity groups, cohorts, and caucuses. Employees should have the ability to self select into ERGs and the Organization shall permit them to utilize organizational space (conference room, conference line, Zoom, email and/or Slack). When reasonably possible, space should also be made at conferences, retreats, and events for ERGs to meet in person. Time spent in ERGs must be considered work time. To the extent ERGs seek funding and resources for activities beyond what is described above, a process for formalizing such groups will be developed by the Organization, led by the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Officer for Racial Justice and Equity, to evaluate such requests. Formal ERGs will receive $2,000 annually to support their programming.
