ERGs have been proven time and time again to increase retention, boost productivity and save companies thousands of dollars in replacement costs each year. Having a higher stake in the success of their colleagues and the business itself, ERG leaders are in a prime position to increase workplace diversity, improve retention rates, and drive feelings of belonging.
