Workforce SynQ is a collaborative network for professionals who lead or support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), Business Resource Groups (BRGs), Pride groups, Affinity Groups, and other employee-led communities.
Workforce SynQ provides a space for both emerging and established ERGs to share ideas, learn from peers, and discover practical strategies that strengthen employee engagement and workplace culture.
What You'll Gain:
- Best practices for building and sustaining successful ERGs and BRGs
- Peer learning with leaders from organizations of all sizes and industries
- Professional development and leadership growth
- Resource sharing and collaboration
- Conversations around timely workplace topics and emerging trends
- Ideas for using employee groups to strengthen recruitment, retention, and employee engagement
How it Works:
Workforce SynQ meets monthly through a combination of virtual and in-person sessions. Each meeting features discussion, networking, and practical takeaways that participants can bring back to their organizations.
