Fostering Disability-Inclusive Workplaces Through Employee Resource Groups

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are internal structures within organizations that help address the unique needs and issues of a diverse workforce. ERGs are considered a best practice that businesses can leverage to foster a culture of inclusion and benefit employees and employers alike. Disability-focused ERGs can be used to assist in the recruitment and retention of employees with disabilities, boost productivity and job satisfaction, promote and educate staff, improve products and reach new customers, and support internal and external initiatives.
