Global ERG Network (GEN)

This November, help us celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Native American and Indigenous communities. We encourage everyone to learn more about Native American heritage, advocate for Indigenous rights, and promote representation in all spaces. Let’s amplify Indigenous voices and work together to create more inclusive environments where every individual’s culture and history is honored and respected. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #GlobalERGNetwork #BelongingintheWorkplace

By staying committed to the cause, these leaders are continuing to push for change despite the obstacles. To learn more about the strategies DEI professionals are using to navigate these challenges, read the full article. https://bit.ly/3zISlB8 #DEI #DEIStrategy
