We're kicking off Q2 with the latest episode of Chezie's Intent to Impact Podcast!
Tune in as I'm chatting with the brilliant Asheli Mann-Lofthouse, Senior Manager, Global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Kraft Heinz. In this episode, we're discussing her approach to building a data-driven global BRG strategy.
There are several takeaways from this week's show, but here are my top three:
✨ It's important to distinguish between ERGs and BRGs, as the former is meant to focus on employee inclusion and well-being while the latter is meant to do the same + drive business impact. By aligning Kraft's BRGs with the company's broader objectives, the program has been a strategic partner in contributing to organizational growth and success.
✨ Developing annual plans well in advance is crucial to proactively align initiatives with organizational strategies, track progress, and effectively report achievements. This proactive approach ensures that BRGs and ERGs align with the company's broader goals, fostering greater synergy across departments and increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.
✨ Through feedback obtained from engagement surveys, focus groups, and direct communication with leadership teams, programming is tailored to meet employees' specific needs. This targeted approach allows for interventions to address challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and use metrics like engagement scores and retention rates as indicators of BRG/ERG effectiveness in driving business outcomes.
