The effective use and application of people and culture committees is one of the critical challenges and opportunities facing organizations. Councils and ERGs have emerged in the workplace as a standard component of inclusion and diversity initiatives. For many organizations, the benefits of committees, councils and ERGs have evolved over time from the primary intent-to provide a forum in which members of an organization who share common interests, issues, or concerns meet to address those issues-to multifaceted benefits that impact the organization’s talent management strategy and inclusion efforts in recruitment, retention, mentoring, leadership development, marketing, customer relations and the bottom line.
This course provides you with tools and strategies for establishing and facilitating successful committees, councils and ERGS and enables you to demonstrate their positive business impact. You'll discuss best practices for council development and management, and apply new concepts through case studies, group activities and team discussions.
