Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) 

ERGs are employee-led groups that serve as a resource for members and organizations by fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with organizational mission, values, goals, practices, and objectives. Diverse lived experiences and research have shown that ERGs help employees settle into their roles and the organization, be heard, develop future leaders, and increase employee engagement. ERGs help the organization gather feedback and increase trust, find talent, and implement processes that will lead to us to a more diverse and inclusive Common Cause. ERGs are open to all part- and full-time staff.   

Common Cause currently has 5 ERGs: 

• Advocates for Disability & Neurodiversity Awareness (ADNA) ERG 
• Black ERG 
• Latine ERG 
• LGBTQIA+ ERG 
• North African, Middle Eastern, Asian/Pacific Islander, Desi (NOMADs) ERG
