What makes a workplace truly inclusive? Often, it’s the people
driving change from within – through Employee Resource Groups, or
ERGs. ERGs unite colleagues with shared backgrounds or interests
and give them a platform to connect, support one another, and help
shape a more inclusive culture. They’re a powerful force for change
– amplifying diverse voices, sparking dialogue, and fostering a
sense of belonging. In this episode, we explore the impact of ERGs
beyond their core communities, including how they help advance
inclusion across companies. Joining us are two guests from Henkel: 
Luis Valadez, Senior Brand Manager and leader of Henkel’s LGBTQ+
ERG, Global Pride, and James Cummings, Senior Patent Counsel and
active ERG advocate. Together, we’ll uncover how ERGs work, why
they matter, and how anyone can help bring one to life.
