Employee Resource Group (ERG)
Supporting our People
An Employee Resource Group (ERG) is a voluntary, employee-led group of people who share similar identities, characteristics, backgrounds, interests, or life experiences. These groups offer forums in which employees can share experiences, information, and resources in a supportive environment. The ERG is committed to raising awareness and creating a sense of belonging amongst all employees by collectively developing programming, conducting (virtual) events and activities, and supporting community initiatives when possible. ERGs are employee-led with formal company support to ensure they thrive and contribute to the organization as a whole.
ERGs are open to all Ames employees. If you or someone you know is interested in joining an ERG, please obtain approval from a supervisor and visit the Ames ERG page to sign up.
