Leveraging Executive Sponsorship for Your ERG

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are typically full of passionate, driven people with great ideas. But they often lack the leadership connections to implement their ideas. That’s where Executive Sponsors can help. In this course, aimed at ERG leaders, you’ll learn what Executive Sponsors are and what characteristics to look for in a sponsor. You’ll also discover a blueprint for acquiring an Executive Sponsor to help your ERG reach its goals. And finally, you’ll learn how to foster an effective Executive Sponsor relationship. After this course, you’ll have an action plan for acquiring and leveraging Executive Sponsorship to create a more inclusive workplace.

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.
