EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP

OUT Syracuse launched a citywide LGBTQ Employee Resource Group. It is open to all LGBTQ employees of businesses and organizations in the Syracuse area that do not have their own ERG.

 

LGBTQ ERG members are encouraged to ask their companies to sponsor their professional membership for year-long opportunities. The membership includes six online professional development training modules, three in-person social/wellness opportunities, two community service projects and a mentor.

 

Business leaders should consider offering this opportunity for your LGBTQ team members as meaningful professional development.

The directory is for those community members who want to patron businesses that are inclusive and invested in the LGBTQ community. The membership helps maintain/promote the directory and offset the cost of our LGBTQ coaching and training. $300. first year fee with renewal rate of $175.
