Overcoming Barriers to Growth for Faith-Based Employee Resource Groups

7 May, 2026

In today’s workplaces, faith-based Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) remain among the most under-resourced and misunderstood diversity initiatives. Yet they hold untapped potential to strengthen employee belonging, reduce bias, and fuel innovation across global teams.

This highly interactive 45-minute workshop, led by Consumers Energy’s interfaith ERG leaders, equips ERG leaders and business sponsors with practical tools to overcome the most common barriers, including executive buy-in, participation fears, legal concerns, resource constraints, and proving ROI.

You’ll begin with a live anonymous poll to surface real challenges, then move into tabletop discussions to brainstorm and prioritize concrete, ready-to-implement strategies with clear owners, timelines, and metrics. You’ll leave with a personalized action plan, a crowd-sourced “Practical Solutions Toolkit” with adaptable tactics, and fresh insights for building inclusive, compliant, high-impact faith-based ERGs that work for employees of all faiths and none, whether your group is just launching or ready to scale.

Join us and leave empowered to drive real change. Register today!
