SUPPORTING YOUR LIFESTYLE: EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP

Before you were a professional, you were an individual with a distinctive background and a personality shaped by the experiences and personal qualities that make you … you. To honor the unique qualities of our team members and support their career goals, we have formed employee resource groups (ERGs).

Each ERG provides the opportunity for you to assemble with others who have similar passions and goals, share useful information, help you work through common issues, advance, and succeed as a professional. Here are the ERGs you can join at Carilion Clinic:
Military Community ERG

The Military Community ERG works to foster a welcoming and supporting environment for current and former military service members and their supporters.

The Accessibility Advocates ERG

The Accessibility Advocates ERG works to promote an inclusive physical, mental, social, and digital work environment for both Carilion employees and the community members we serve.

Women's ERG

The Womens ERG works to provide support, promote collaboration, foster networking, encourage development, and serve as a voice for women and their supporters. The ERG champions a positive and inclusive work environment.

Multi-cultural ERG

The Multi-Cultural ERG works to create an environment for employees that fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion of various backgrounds, cultures, & socioeconomic statuses.

LGBTQ+ Allies ERG

The LGBTQ+ Allies ERG is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming and affirming environment where all employees can do their best work as their authentic selves and all members of our communities will receive quality care.
