Employee Resource Groups
Join Emory's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to connect with your colleagues and coworkers and make a difference in enhancing our community.
About ERGs
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups established around common interests, purpose, and/or characteristics, typically underrepresented identities and their allies. These groups provide opportunities for:
- networking and social connection;
- enhancing community, engagement and inclusion; and
- giving voice to marginalized or underrepresented communities.
Emory University currently has four ERGs:
Emory Black Employee Network
EBEN
This group promotes individual and collective growth through various resources and networking opportunities, focusing on areas such as health and wellness, community service, cultural events, social gatherings, engagement, mentorship, and personal and professional development opportunities.
Emory Latinx Employee Resource Network
eLERN
Seeks to uplift, support, and amplify the cultural diversity of Latinx employees at Emory University by providing resources for professional development, visibility, and social kinship
This group is open to all Emory University Latinx employees and all allies. This group focuses on areas such as health and wellness, community service, cultural events, social gatherings, engagement, mentorship, and personal and professional development opportunities.
Emory Pride Employee Network
EPEN
Strives to celebrate, support, and recognize the diverse community of LGBTQ+ employees by providing resources for educational growth, awareness and advocacy, and social connections
The EPEN envisions becoming a leader in addressing inequities and advocating for its LGBTQ+ community’s diverse needs. This group is open to all Emory LGBTQ+ employees and all allies.
Emory Veterans Employee Network
EVEN
Seeks to promote a sense of belonging by Emory veterans through organization, recognition, networking, and resources
EVEN aims to increase the visibility of Emory’s veterans and Emory’s veteran services and foster a greater appreciation by the Emory community for the service and sacrifice made by veterans and their families to preserve our way of life.
Future ERGs
Emory is hoping to launching two additional employee resource groups (ERGs) in the future. These will include groups for Asian-American/Pacific Islander employees and Employees with Disabilities. More details will be announced at a later date.
If you are interested in helping launch either of these groups, contact Melissa Morgan, Sr. Recognition & Engagement Manager, melissa.morgan@emory.edu.
