ERG Leader Training by Dr. Robert Rodriguez, ERG Expert & Author of "Employee Resource Group Excellence."

Attention Inclusion Executives, Program Managers, Executive Sponsors, and Leaders of Employee Resource Groups. Are You Ready to Enhance the Performance of your ERGs so that they Achieve Excellence?

This intensive, 2-day program is designed to help leaders elevate the performance and impact of their employee resource groups. Attendees will not only learn about current ERG trends and best practices, but they will also acquire valuable skills essential for today's ERG stakeholders.

Dr. Robert Rodriguez has mastered these insights and capabilities. For the past 25 years, he has studied ERGs, consulted hundreds of companies on their ERG initiatives, and conducted thousands of ERG professional development workshops. He is also the creator of the 4C ERG ModelTM and the 4C ERG AssessmentTM. Over the last 15 years, the 4C ERG Assessment has enabled him to collect data on ERG practices at over 200 companies, approximately 650 separate ERGs, and close to 45,000 individual ERG members.

His expertise is conveyed in his seminal book, "Employee Resource Group Excellence."

With all this experience, data, and expertise, Dr. Rodriguez has designed a learning experience combining research and real-world practical experience on ERG success factors and required competencies. The results are a rigorous and interactive two-day ERG leadership development experience focused on applying practical skills and techniques that drive higher ERG performance.

Now, corporate leaders and executives can enhance their ERG capabilities from the foremost expert on ERG talent development through the only learning experience that leverages research and data about what impacts ERG performance.

The ERGE program delivers cutting-edge content through sound instructional design based on Dr. Rodriguez's research on ERG trends, best practices, and interactive adult learning methodology.

The ERGE program aims to offer ERG stakeholders a comprehensive learning experience that emphasizes the application of practical skills and techniques to enhance ERG performance.

Along with a rigorous 2-day learning experience, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to leverage their Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) so that they provide a holistic value proposition to the company, ERG members, and the community they represent.
