Employee Resource Groups

ERGs offer employees opportunities to connect, learn from one another, and to participate in programming designed to support their personal and career development. All groups are open to all employees.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led global organizations that operate as part of the Global DEI Office. ERGs connect individuals, and allies, who share common affinities, interests, and experiences and serve as a place for employee learning, collaboration, and development.

To increase efficiency, better support employees, and to further advance the Ford+ plan, all 10 global ERGs are aligned to promote and support diversity and inclusion by focusing on three strategic areas:

  • People — Offer a network for employees sharing an affinity to connect, collaborate, and access resources for personal and professional development.
  • Community — Promote the company’s commitment to philanthropy and to building a better world.
  • Business — To act as brand advocates and support the Ford+ plan.

All ERG memberships, programming and events are open to all employees.
