Episode 09: Can’t I rely on ERGs to drive DEI?

Dr. Lisa Colledge examines whether leaders can entrust Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to drive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Drawing on her experience leading a disability-focused ERG and backed by research, she explains how relying solely on ERGs can lead to uneven progress, burnout, and missed opportunities. Instead, she advocates for leadership accountability and a "Freedom within a Framework" approach to ensure sustainable and impactful DEI efforts.
