ABOUT THE POWER OF EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS
This is the first authoritative book on building employee resource groups (ERGs) to empower underrepresented employees and positively impact diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts within organizations and in society at large.
In existence for decades, ERGs originated out of affirmative action policies and have evolved into powerful sources of employee activity and engagement. Organizations can leverage ERGs to support business goals, but ERGs can also play a critical role in creating a more inclusive work environment for marginalized individuals. ERGs represent a balance of serving company interests and empowering employees, offering the opportunity for innovative leadership within organizations.
This book is a practical guide on how to manage ERGs effectively and how they inspire a deeper connection between employees and companies while helping us progress toward the DEI goals that we aim to accomplish. Participating in an ERG can help professionals of color and other historically excluded groups advance their careers, thereby increasing diverse representation in leadership. Farzana Nayani provides foundational tools for starting ERGs and outlines the five Ps—purpose, people, processes, planning, and priorities—needed to successfully operate them.
Unlike other ERG handbooks, this book is people-centric and socially conscious and thoughtfully takes into account the experiences of employees and leaders during current times. It also serves as a deeper call to action around how ERGs can foster authentic change within organizations, creating transformative impact in the surrounding world.

Description
Unconscious bias is a widespread phenomenon impacting all organizations in every industry. This issue is top of mind for every workplace committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). If you are a manager you are probably looking for ways to address bias immediately and effectively. If you are an employee at a company, you’re likely wanting to learn more about how to navigate bias or prevent it in your own work. Any student who takes this course will be exposed to the latest concepts of unconscious bias and how to apply it effectively to your own environment, which in turn will impact greater societal change.
As a DEI practitioner, author, and consultant with over 20 years of experience, I share ideas and best practices from my client work with a wide range of organizations. These tools and strategies are effective in addressing bias in a practical and straightforward way. You will see shifts in how you perceive situations and interact with others, as well as a new look at how to reduce bias in workplace processes. In this course you will see how our decisions, behaviors, and communication with others create greater impact.
In this course, you will:
Develop awareness of how unconscious bias is formed
Identify the types and forms of bias
Explore strategies to mitigate and interrupt bias
Gain knowledge about models for responding to instances of bias
