Launching a Global Women’s Network in a Multi-Cultural Organization

Effective Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) or Affinity Groups, are intended to help underrepresented employees’ network and develop. ERGs help boost feelings of inclusion and belonging for groups such as women, and provide employees with a space to network, develop and collaborate with their colleagues. For multi-cultural organizations, it is crucial to consider how to extend ERGs to a global audience and break cultural barriers, all while considering various languages, time differences, and cultural sensitivities.

Our session discusses how to launch an ERG focused on empowering women in STEM in a global organization. From gaining sponsorship, identifying resources in every country, establishing metrics for success, and everything in between, we will walk you through the process of setting up a truly global ERG focused on empowering women.
