According to the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) "offer employees an opportunity to network, address shared issues and concerns, and receive support from similarly situated individuals. 

ERGs at GTRI drive opportunities for employee engagement, professional development, education and training, recruitment, retention, and community outreach. Our ERGs provide resources that encourage connection and advocacy across the Institute. ERGs at GTRI serve as employee-led internal communities, providing personal connections for cohesive groups to assist the Institute in removing barriers. GTRI employees create and define our Employee Resource Groups.

We invite all GTRI employees to join an ERG that they identify with or want to support and their sponsored programs and events are open to everyone.
