CUIMC Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary groups of employees who join together in their workplace based on shared characteristics or life experiences and serve as a resource for members and the organization by fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace aligned with organizational goals. Diversity is vital for CUIMC’s ability to grow and innovate in such a fast-changing environment. ERGs are an integral component of the medical center’s commitment to help us drive change in diversity and inclusion. Participation in ERGs may provide long-term business benefits for the medical center and professional and personal development for the participants.
Staff networks have the potential to grow and function at both operational and strategic levels.
