How Employee Resource Groups drive change within businesses

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are pivotal in shaping inclusive workplaces and driving employee engagement.

At Kyndryl, our ERGs are called Kyndryl Inclusion Networks (KINs). They are company-sponsored, employee-led resource groups open to all Kyndryls and dedicated to creating spaces where they can find and provide support and advice.

"Supported by senior-level executive sponsors, KINs support our ID&E strategic priorities and play a vital role in our inclusive environment where Kyndryls are valued and empowered to succeed," said Karima Bryant, Chief Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Officer at Kyndryl. "We have 70 local KIN chapters in over 20 countries, who are essential to advancing our Kyndryl Way culture, which focuses on empowering inclusive teams and fueling our strength of belonging."

To celebrate International ERG Day, held annually on Nov. 17, a few of Kyndryl's customers - the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Foundation, The Very Group and BT Group - share insights into how ERGs within their organizations foster a culture of trust and purpose, helping employees thrive and businesses meet their goals.
