Employee Resource Groups Are Booming
Membership in the 10 HM employee resource groups (ERGs) is growing rapidly. Why? They’re an informal and relaxed way to meet up with colleagues who share common interests or backgrounds or want to learn more about the cultural traditions of their co-workers.
The voluntary employee-created and led groups provide a safe, neutral space for employees and offer professional and personal development opportunities. Members may also participate in networking events and community involvement activities.
Employees across the system can join any ERG they identify with or would like to learn more about and support. You can also start a new group!
To find out what all the excitement is about, text “ERG” to 45991 or contact Nazia Imrose at nimrose2@houstonmethodist.org.
