Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led groups which bring together members who share a common identity. They may drive forward initiatives to support individual members and work with the organisation to incorporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) throughout the culture.
In this webinar, we will be exploring the different considerations to take into account when building a Neurodiversity ERG.
The session will be delivered by Abigail Tennant who is a Consulting Business Psychologist at Lexxic. Abigail has lived experience of being diagnosed with dyslexia and has recently been diagnosed with ADHD at age 36. She has also helped to set up and is the chair for Lexxic’s All Minds Belong neurodiversity ERG.
In this session, we will discuss:
What an ERG is and how ERGs can benefit organisations and individuals
The dual role of an ERG: peer support for neurodiverse employees, and advocacy and awareness on Neuroinclusion.
Inclusion for parents and carers, and intersectionality - the relationship with other ERGs
The respective roles of the organisation and the ERG
Good practice examples
The webinar will be interactive, and there will be some time set aside for Q&A.
