This special edition of Seramount\u2019s ERG Leadership Handbook was developed for the Open to All community in partnership with Seramount and Michael Kors. <a href=\"https:\/\/seramount.com\/resources\/employee-resource-group-guidebook-developed-in-partnership-with-open-to-all-and-michael-kors\/\">The wide-ranging guidebook<\/a> is set to transform the way businesses, most notably retailers, build and empower Employee Resource Groups within their organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employee Resource Groups, or ERGs, deepen employee engagement and belonging. However, ERG management can be challenging and often requires cross-departmental collaboration. The ERG Guidebook is intended to assist Open to All and Seramount partners in harnessing the full potential of ERGs, resulting in inclusive working environments where every employee can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithin the Open to All community, especially retail members, ERGs are a frequent topic and the need for a resource that offers guidance and strategies was clear,\u201d said <strong>Calla Devlin, Managing Director of Open to All.<\/strong> \u201cThanks to the generosity of Michael Kors, whose diversity, equity, and inclusion team brought in Seramount as an invaluable resource, we collaborated to create this toolkit. Open to All is deeply grateful to Michael Kors for their leadership and investment in this work.\u201d &nbsp;<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open to All commends Michael Kors for their leadership and investment. In recognition of their dedicated partnership, Michael Kors received the Open to All Collaboration Award at the Second Annual Open to All Convening. This award honors Michael Kors leadership in providing valuable resources for corporations to develop, manage, and grow ERGs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Michael Kors, we prioritize continuous improvement, inclusivity, and cultivating a thriving workplace. Through ERGs, we\u2019re able to empower our employees with support, mentorship, and a safe, judgment-free forum for employees to express themselves, share experiences, and promote peer allyship,\u201d said <strong>Semone Bamboat, VP, Global Head Diversity &amp; Inclusion and Talent Acquisition&nbsp;of Capri Holdings Limited, the parent company of Michael Kors. <\/strong>\u201cWe&#8217;re grateful for our partnerships with organizations like Open to All and Seramount as we collectively work to create a vital resource in the interest of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By creating spaces for employees of various backgrounds, cultures, genders, abilities, and orientations to connect, ERGs promote a sense of belonging, offer leadership development opportunities, enhance talent acquisition efforts, and amplify underrepresented voices, which, in turn, boosts overall morale and productivity. Offering Employee Resource Groups isn&#8217;t just a matter of corporate social responsibility\u2014it&#8217;s a strategic imperative that aligns with business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeramount has been a supporter of Open to All from the beginning and we are proud to champion this important work, along with our partner, Michael Kors,\u201d said <strong>Katie Oertli Mooney, Managing Director of Seramount<\/strong>. \u201cBecause of the unique nuances of ERGs that function in a dispersed retail workforce, those located in the corporate office, the stores, and the distribution centers, it only made sense for our advisors, who specialize in activating ERGs, add their expertise and Seramount\u2019s extensive research, tools, and resources, to this toolkit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seramount.com\/resources\/employee-resource-group-guidebook-developed-in-partnership-with-open-to-all-and-michael-kors\/\">The ERG Guidebook<\/a> leverages the latest industry insights to offer data-backed strategies and practical solutions. Within the guidebook, interactive worksheets provide step-by-step instructions detailing the processes of initiating and sustaining ERGs. The guidebook offers access to expert guidance from leading diversity and inclusion specialists, and case studies informed by the experiences of Open to All corporate partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complete ERG Guidebook is exclusively available to Open to All and Seramount members.
