Employee business resource groups
We’ve taken a pioneering and global approach to our diversity strategy through the creation of employee business resource groups (EBRGs).
Driving an inclusive culture and supporting employee career growth
With more than 21,500 members across 10 groups, EBRGs represent diversity within our company and reflect the communities in which we live and serve.
Our EBRGs reflect who we are
For more than 50 years, we've built communities within our company that foster retention, facilitate growth, provide mentorship and strengthen networks. They also make direct contributions to our business strategy with culturally relevant insights that drive our success and improve our decision-making.
