As we kick off September, we're excited to shine a spotlight on an important celebration that honors the vibrant cultures, remarkable histories, and countless contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. Hispanic Heritage Month, spanning from September 15 to October 15, is a time to come together and appreciate the rich tapestry of our nation's diversity. 🌎 Origins and Significance The journey of Hispanic Heritage Month began with a vision to promote the essence of Hispanic-American culture, hailing from regions including Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. What began as a weeklong observance in 1968 evolved into a month-long commemoration of heritage, with President Ronald Reagan signing it into law in 1988. 📜 A Date of Significance The choice of September 15 as the starting date is symbolic, commemorating the independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries, including El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. The month also encompasses the independence days of Mexico and Chile, and includes Dia de la Raza or Columbus Day on October 12. Let's make this Hispanic Heritage Month a time of unity, growth, and celebration. Together, we can embrace our differences and honor the shared experiences that make us stronger as a nation. 🎉🎈 #HispanicHeritageMonth #EmbraceDiversity #CelebrateCulture

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) play a vital role in creating workplace environments where employees thrive. These volunteer, employee-led groups foster a culture of belonging, support, and positive organizational change. However, their effectiveness varies. A McKinsey report found that 90% of Fortune 500 companies have ERGs, but only 66% of employees see them as building community. This discrepancy is due to the critical role that leadership plays in making these groups work, while delivering bottom-line business results. ERGs are much more than meet and greets in the boardroom. This blog takes a look at the critical role leadership plays in the success of an ERG.
