  • The thing that all ERG Leaders really want and much more
  • Play the episode for more.

    Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

    ERG Leaders are doing voluntary work  

    “ERG work is voluntary work

    ERG work, is work but it is voluntary work

    We can all agree that the nature of voluntary work is unpaid”

    ERG Leaders aren’t motivated by money   

    I can tell you from speaking with and working with ERG Leaders all over the world.

    It’s one of the most inspirational experiences you can have in Diversity and Inclusion because the good ones are real and I mean real leaders”

    ERG Leaders are being short changed   

    “I just told you they don’t want money but what do they want?

    What do the members want?

    Because if they’re asking you for money it means in truth, you’re not giving them something else”
