If you were at the Global EmERGe Conference in London, you already know the energy was undeniable. We lit the stage on fire and made it clear that employee groups (ERGs, BRGs, IBGs\u2014we see you) are ready for a new standard of growth, influence, and real results. Over the past year, we have listened to the biggest challenges from employee group leaders, Inclusion teams, and executive sponsors. What we heard shaped a new model built to help you level up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Global EmERGe is a worldwide community of employee group leaders, for those who are new to our conferences. Inclusion executives, and allies who are redefining what employee groups can achieve gather in London once a year, hosted by Seramount. Through Global EmERGe, members gain expert-led training, practical tools, strategy sessions, and a strong network of peers driving change inside some of the world’s most influential companies. The Global EmERGe Conference is where this community comes together to share ideas, sharpen skills, and move from conversation to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global EmERGe 2025 lays the foundation for what comes next in the continuing employee group evolution. Leaders from around the world came together to sharpen strategies, strengthen community, and drive real change. Sessions like “Unlocking Executive Sponsorship” gave attendees clear steps to build stronger partnerships with leadership, grow business credibility, and create new opportunities for impact. Every part of the agenda focused on action you can take today. What we started in London is only the beginning. The movement is already in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing the Employee Group Maturity Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At  Global EmERGe, we gave the world a first look at a game-changing new tool. Developed from real-world insights, tested by practitioners, and refined for today’s climate, the Employee Group Maturity Model<\/a> <\/strong>is more than a framework\u2014it is a call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In London, the response to our model was electric. Inclusion leaders, ERG chairs, and executive sponsors leaned all the way in, asking questions, taking notes, and imagining how this model could transform their workplaces. The hunger in the room was palpable, the energy was contagious, and the curiosity reached new heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here is the twist: the model was just the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
