Keeping Your ERGs and BRGs Running In Spite of Coronavirus

How can high-touch supportive employee networks stay together, connected and helping their communities while maintaining social distancing? That was the central question during our season opening episode of ERG PowerTalk.

To support ERGs and BRGs in their continuing efforts, Thursday March 19 2020 we had our first live audience recording of this episode titled: Keeping Your ERGs and BRGs Running In Spite of Coronavirus.

I opted for this live audience approach over our usual private recording in order to get the information out to the public sooner than later. I was happy to see such a large number of people from our DEI community join me and our panel of three comprised of: Shary Tran from Froedtert Health & Medical College of Wisconsin, Erica Fletcher from Avanade and Cherron Inko-Tariah the UK based author of The Incredible Power of Staff Networks. The program was packed with inspiring success stories and great suggestions on how you and your groups can keep your momentum when it comes to one-on-one meetings, group meetings and events that provide the support needed by you, your members and your communities even while maintaining safe social distances. (I personally counted 11 tools and 7 practices that any organization can put to work right away).

I’ve invited the panelist from this episode to post more about their tools and some of the ideas presented in this podcast here in the comment section, so watch this space and join the conversation by adding your own questions, tools, ideas and practices. I’ll be happy to broadcast your contributions to the widest possible audience through my various social media channels. Let’s work together to make sure that our physical distancing does not leave any of us fending for ourselves in isolation.
