LGBT-Focused Employee Resource Groups
The Vanderbilt Program for lgbtq Health seeks to create two new employee resource groups for sexual and gender minority employees at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
An employee resource group (ERG) is a voluntary, employee-led group that fosters a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with organizational mission, values, goals, business practices and objectives.
One group will focus on LGBTQI employees, while the second one will focus specifically on transgender employees.
