NECC has developed five Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that aim to provide a dedicated safe space of support, community, and learning for our staff. There are five ERGs: Wellness, LGBTQ+, Black & Brown, Parents & Caregivers, and International Staff. The groups are voluntary, based on similar life experiences, identities, or challenges in the workplace. The benefits are belonging, inclusion, support, engagement, and a safe space to learn and practice allyship.
