Becoming an Effective Employee Resource Group (ERG)
Workshop Overview
Build an ERG that creates real, lasting change.
3.5-hours – Virtual/In person – Up to 20 participants
Becoming an Effective Employee Resource Group is a half-day interactive workshop designed for neurodiversity ERG leads, champions and members. It gives your group the clarity, structure and practical tools to move beyond awareness events and become a genuine driver of neuroinclusion across your organisation with the leadership alignment and strategic focus to make it stick.

Most ERGs start with energy and good intentions. The ones that create lasting change are the ones that build clear purpose, earn leadership trust and translate passion into practical initiatives that the organisation actually acts on.
This session gives your ERG the foundation to become one of them.
- A clear, shared understanding of what an effective neurodiversity ERG looks like and what separates high-impact groups from well-meaning ones
- The ability to define or refine your ERG's purpose, scope and strategic priorities with clarity and confidence
- Practical tools for building meaningful leadership alignment - getting senior sponsors genuinely engaged, accountable and invested
- The skills to design initiatives that go beyond awareness events and create measurable, lasting change
- Confidence to advocate for neurodivergent employees at an organisational level - influencing policy, practice and culture
- A clear understanding of how to measure ERG impact in ways that resonate with leadership and demonstrate real value
- A structured six-month action plan that the whole group has contributed to and committed to together
An ERG that isn't operating strategically isn't just less effective. It's exhausting for the people running it.
Without clear purpose and leadership alignment, ERGs spend their energy organising awareness events that don't lead anywhere, trying to influence decisions they're never invited into and advocating for changes that never quite make it onto anyone's agenda. Members burn out. Momentum fades. And the organisation loses one of its most valuable internal voices for inclusion.
The difference between an ERG that thrives and one that stalls isn't passion. It's structure, strategy and the ability to operate at the level where decisions actually get made.
This session gives ERG leaders and members the tools to do exactly that. To move from reactive to proactive, from visible to influential and from a group with good intentions to a group that creates real, measurable change for neurodivergent employees across the organisation.
Half-day | Up to 20 participants | Virtual or in person | Collaborative, discussion-led and action-focused
This session is for neurodiversity ERG leaders, members and allies who want to build a group that genuinely moves the needle - not just one that shows up on the intranet and organises events once a year.
It works particularly well for ERGs that are newly formed and want to build on strong foundations from the start, established groups that have lost momentum or clarity of purpose, organisations where ERG activity exists but hasn't translated into meaningful organisational change, and HR and inclusion leads who want their ERG to become a genuine strategic partner rather than a peripheral initiative.
It works best when attended by the full ERG together - so that purpose, priorities and the action plan are genuinely shared rather than handed down from a small leadership group.
A high-functioning ERG doesn't just support neurodivergent employees. It shifts the culture around them - influencing how the organisation thinks, what it prioritises and how it acts.
Organisations that invest in their ERGs properly see the difference in employee experience, leadership engagement and the credibility of their wider inclusion strategy.
