ERG Business Development Benchmarking Study
These days, it is not enough for companies to merely assume the business impact of a diversity ERG – now they must clearly articulate a business strategy for diversity that impacts business growth, and develop ways to measure this impact. Leading companies are developing key strategies to utilize their employee networks to help diversity impact the bottom line.
Jennifer Brown Consulting, in partnership with Cisco Systems, is undertaking a research study to begin to benchmark best practices for positioning and maximizing ERGs as key business drivers. The benchmark study will specifically look at how companies successfully integrate business development practices into the maturation process of their ERGs and will explore specific initiative processes, such as: innovative business unit partnerships; key leadership competencies; and forward-thinking business growth metrics. Through this research, we look to better understand the relationship between ERGs and the business – and the multiple synergies they develop.

Please email david@jenniferbrownconsulting.com to indicate your interest in taking our survey. We expect to publish a link to the survey to those interested.
JBC is conducting its LGBT ERG survey to help Diversity and Inclusion Managers best leverage the power of their LGBT ERGs and affinity networks. We’re reaching out to LGBT employee groups to gather best practices that will help create business alignment for all ERGs, ultimately strengthening not only diversity goals, but industry-level ROI. In an effort to help leaders develop, enhance and leverage the expertise of LGBT ERGs, JBC is looking to our network of diversity leaders to share insights on the best practices of LGBT ERGs.
