Legal Dimensions of ERGs

ERGs, or Employee Resource Groups, are a great way for companies to facilitate communities that promote equity and inclusion within an organization. Unfortunately, many business leaders make the mistake of letting legal concerns halt ERG programs in their organizations. In this course, you’ll learn about some of the common legal concerns business owners express about ERGs and receive guidance on how to spot potential legal issues to raise with your counsel. After this course, you’ll be able to have productive conversations with legal advisors to apply common legal scenarios to your unique location and circumstances.

This course is part of the OpenDoors ERGs series, a series where we teach the steps organizations can take to create thriving ERG communities that foster belonging and inclusion in the workplace.

Disclaimer: This course should not be viewed as legal advice, but rather as a tool to explore general guidelines and prepare for further conversations with qualified legal advisors.
