Measuring Impact and Sustaining Momentum
Measuring ERG impact demonstrates value and informs continuous improvement. Common metrics include participation, membership growth, event attendance, and satisfaction. Track outcomes related to inclusion, development, and retention to show business relevance.
Use dashboards and regular reporting to share progress with leadership and members. Highlight success stories and concrete career or culture outcomes resulting from ERG activities.
