How to Turn Your ERGs into Business Insight Engines with Mantej Singh
Q: What should ERG leaders do in the first 90 days to prove value?
Assess whether the environment is control/comply or dialogue/design/deliver, gather lived-experience input and organizational discussions, identify two to three priorities, and begin with dialogue to set the stage for meaningful delivery with organizational partners.
How to Turn Your ERGs into Business Insight Engines with Mantej Singh
Q: What are the clearest signs that an ERG is being controlled or filtered before reaching top leadership?
Signs include feeling rushed, incomplete information, tight deadlines, and a sense that feedback is being used mainly to check a box rather than to inform decisions; ERGs should assess their context and push to be treated as equal partners.
How ERGs Can Get Noticed—and Valued—by the C-Suite
Q: A simple definition here. What is the role of marketing?
Marketing is the ability to communicate your understanding of a problem that a customer or a prospect is having, and explaining to them in simple terms that you have the solution.
How ERGs Can Help Members Cope with Trauma
Q: How can ERGs create safe, healing-centered spaces for members dealing with trauma during turbulent times?
ERGs should establish courageous spaces with clear confidentiality, trauma-informed facilitation, emotional regulation workshops, and a move from mere venting to strategic, actionable planning for next steps and advocacy.
How ERGs Can Help Members Cope with Trauma
Q: Kenisha, what are some of the biggest misconceptions about trauma and resilience in professional settings?
Trauma isn't a personal failing, and resilience isn't about enduring hardship alone; true resilience comes from supportive environments that enable healing and access to resources like therapy and peer support.
