Employee resource groups can solve the 3 Biggest Problems that organisations experience on their Inclusion journey
But there is a Dark side to all this
Get your pen and paper ready because we’re talking about the dark side of employee resource groups
In today’s show we discuss several things including:
- Why people weren’t happy with me talking about ERG’s and pay
- Why Super Star Leaders can be a blessing and a curse
- How the Business Case for Diversity can lead to exploitation and much more
Here’s some of what we discuss on the show:
Be careful of not being adequately prepared
“the insights on this show can be used against you.I know that. That’s why I want you to hear it from me so you can prepare.”
Be careful of leaders thinking of themselves at the expense others
“If you’ve got a leader who’s just sorting themselves out.. this can be very painful for individuals and people will leave the organisation.
I’ve seen this so many times. I don’t want it to happen to you”
“Be careful of members being commoditised
“at what point is this useful and valuable and at what point is it tokenism or exploitation. At what point are the members being used by the organisation in a way that’s unfair?”
