Do you Attend ERG/BRG Networking Events

Curious, if anyone attends or is active in their companies ERG (Enterprise Resource Group) or BRG (Business Resource Group)?


I feel like sometimes I should to be joining groups like these since I at times feel like I am on an island being fully remote. I still prefer to be WFH, but I get the feeling like I should be doing more outside of solely sales activities.


Majority of these groups are targeted towards individuals within minority groups. As a white straight male, feel like if I were to join these groups I might get looked as if its not meant for me.


Curious if anyone is active in similar groups and thoughts on Allies joining?

I have never heard of these, tbh. What exactly are they?

Groups within a company that are usually discussing ways to progress your career at a company and learning of ways they help employees and also to help find a mentor.

From what I see, they are groups specific for veterans or someone with a diverse background

It seems like something really interesting but not necessarily meant for me.

Ahh, never been anywhere with such organizations. Thanks for letting me know.

As another straight, white male, I do understand your reticence/concerns.

I haven't ever joined these groups solely for the same reason that you outlined near the end, I just don't fit the demographic of what the groups are for

If those groups are convenient to attend, I would highly recommend it. Its good to network and socialize professionally especially when you're WFH and feel like an island.
