Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are powerful engines of innovation, leadership, and retention. This was the overarching theme of SVLG’s ERG/BRG Consortium Fall Gathering at San Francisco Bay University in Fremont, CA.
In December 2023, SVLG launched the ERG/BRG Consortium to improve underrepresented employees’ experiences in Silicon Valley by strengthening employee / business resource groups.
