Vision

As an Elevate initiative, The ERG Economy convenes cross-industry stakeholders of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to share and co-create innovative, leading-edge insights that benefit the overall ecosystem and economy of ERGs.

Mission

To achieve our vision, The Elevate ERG Economy Initiative co-creates:

  • Strategies and solutions to maximize ERG impact, development, and innovation
  • Practical Resources, such as our signature ToolBooks, Toolkits, and other content
  • Research on ERGs that leverage shared information and insights from many stakeholders
  • Communities such as CoP+s and summits to jointly forge innovative solutions and share best practices

The ERG Economy is an initiative of Elevate.
