Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups that aim to foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with the organizations they serve and are open to all employees. ERGs are key champions of workplace inclusion efforts, providing a direct benefit to both employees and the business through professional development, awareness and education. Electric Boat supports the formation of ERGs to foster diversity and encourage employees to share information, recognize achievements and interact with fellow employees on an informal basis. To learn more about ERGs and how to form an ERG, contact the Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement.
