We’ve made it to week 2—exciting times!

In additional to many ERGR related celebrations happening this month, June is likely the beginning of mid-year performance reviews for many of you. With that in mind, here’s some tips to help you✨:

For ERG Leaders

1. Familiarize Yourself with Company Values:

   • Your manager might not know the specifics of your ERG work, but they understand company values. Relate your contributions to these values.

2. Track Your Wins

   • Take screenshots of events and feedback.

   • Consistently collect your engagement reports.

   • Even if your ERG Program Manager hasn’t implemented a way to use your reports yet, keep collecting data. It’ll make it much easier to articulate your impact when the time comes.

3. Document Everything You Do

   • Write down all your ERG-related activities.

   • Pro tip: Ask ChatGPT to help rewrite your tasks and make the link between them and your day job clear. Show how your ERG tasks enhance your primary role.

For ERG Program Managers

1.Provide Language and Data

• Supply ERG leaders with the language and data needed for a robust performance report related to their ERG activities.

• Ensure every ERG leader’s manager is aware that they’re a lead.

2.Standardize Processes

• Implement processes that ERG leads follow. This makes it easier to articulate what each lead has done and avoids the need to customize for each individual.

• Ensure roles have clear input and output metrics—these are key for performance reviews.

3.Evaluate and Share Impact

• Assess the ERG’s impact since the last performance review.

• Share a document highlighting metric wins and qualitative successes.

• Provide template performance review statements to help ERG leaders articulate their contributions.

The above may seem overwhelming, but in a perfect world, this is what you would do for all of the ERGs in your program on the same cadence that your company has performance reviews. Actually, in a perfect world, this would all be automated with software, but we know how that is 🤷‍♀️. If you ask, I may even share a template with you😊
