【HR术语】什么是员工资源小组？（What is an employee resource group (ERG)?）
什么是员工资源小组（ERG）？
员工资源小组（ERG）是组织内基于共同的身份、价值观、兴趣、观点或目标而自愿联合起来的群体。员工资源小组的目的是加强工作场所关系、培养归属感、促进个人和职业成长，并最终培育整个公司社区。
员工资源小组始于 20 世纪 60 年代，旨在加强少数群体在工作场所的发言权。如今，员工资源小组代表了一般的人口群体，如女性或拉丁裔专业人士。更特殊的群体则代表单亲父母、退伍军人或癌症幸存者等人群。
员工资源小组的目的是什么？
员工资源小组利用其成员的集体努力创造归属感，并帮助他们掌握为自己代言的工具。员工资源小组还鼓励包容，并在更广泛的公司文化中实施切实的变革。它们还有助于提高士气、工作满意度和（最终）生产力。
它们的具体做法是：
为组织内代表性不足的团队成员代言
促进包容性
鼓励他人结盟
提供有利于成员职业发展的支持和资源
促进公平做法，为每个人创造积极的工作环境
提高整个组织的工作满意度
提高并保持雇主与员工之间的透明度
员工资源小组有哪些类型？
大多数人创建员工资源小组的目的是为具有某些共同背景或生活经历的人代言。其中可能包括：
性别
种族
宗教信仰
残疾
社会经济背景
性取向
年龄
父母状况
人们还围绕共同的兴趣爱好组织 ERG。最常见的小组类型有：
多样性资源小组。这些小组的工作重点是为工作场所中的少数群体成员进行宣传。
志愿者小组。这些小组通常由希望支持和回馈社区的人组成。
亲和团体。亲和团体是由希望与对特定活动或爱好有共同兴趣的同事相聚的人领导的。它们鼓励联系和社交。
职业发展小组。专业发展小组鼓励人们联系和合作，而不论资历或部门。这些小组鼓励人们分享知识和发展技能。它们还可以提供培训，如学习如何编码或公众演讲技巧。
人力资源领导为什么要关注员工资源小组？
个人在工作场所自然会与朋友建立关系。员工资源小组可以为员工提供一个支持网络，让他们可以向管理层或高层领导表达共同的担忧。
员工资源小组还可以帮助招聘认同特定群体的候选人，让他们从第一天起就有归属感。例如，女性员工关系小组可以物色候选人，并为团队中的女性提供个人指导和职业发展培训。归根结底，员工组织可以提高士气和参与度，降低离职率，加强人口多样性，让人们更加了解工作场所的意义。
为什么要加入员工资源小组？
在改善员工日常工作体验方面，员工资源小组大有可为。同时，它们还有助于培养健康的工作文化和强烈的社区意识。加入员工资源小组也是发展专业领导技能、在公司和更广泛的社区发挥作用的好方法。
如何在贵公司开展员工资源小组计划？
如果你想在你的公司成功开展员工资源小组计划，首先要关注的是员工资源小组就像他们所反映的人一样是独一无二的。为确保其成功，人力资源部门可以与员工领袖合作，帮助他们获得所需的工具和资源，使新的小组得以启动并蓬勃发展。人力资源领导者可以通过以下方式支持员工关系小组的建立和发展：
制定 ERG 章程。起草一份简单明了的文件，其中包括 ERG 附则。为了保持公平，雇主必须制定同样适用于每个 ERG 的规则。
保持 ERG 的透明度。专家工作组应制定其内部小组政策（与公司章程一致）、任务说明、宗旨、目标和角色。确定小组的身份和目标可以避免停滞不前，增加成长和成功的机会。
体现包容性。不一定符合企业资源小组标准的团队成员可能出于个人原因仍想加入。让他们加入--只要他们不扰乱团队--支持包容的公司文化。
促进不同专家工作组之间的联系。一个组织的力量在于所有部门和团队成员之间的团结意识。促进 ERG 之间建立联系的机会可以鼓励人们建立联系。例如，举办公司运动队、寻宝游戏或海滩清洁等可选的跨 EERG 娱乐活动，可以促进不同组别团队成员之间的关系。
提供领导机会。每个 ERG 都需要一名来自组内的员工领袖。人力资源专业人员和管理人员可以合作发掘新出现的领导者，并在他们担任 ERG 领导职务期间对他们进行指导。
现实世界中有哪些员工资源小组的例子？
有许多著名的员工资源小组打破了玻璃天花板，并对社区进行了再投资。以下是几个著名的员工资源小组：
青年专业人士 (TIIA)
金融服务公司 TIIA 的青年专业人员 ERG 被称为 “YoPros”，该组织为其成员组织社交活动，通过社交媒体招聘来吸引年轻一代的金融人才，并开展了许多志愿服务活动。
专业人士网络（安永会计师事务所）
安永的 “促进社会公平和包容性增长 ”倡议因其 ERG 计划和对 DEI&B 的承诺而获得了全球平等标准（GES）的认可。他们拥有十多个不同的 ERG 和员工支持小组，如倡导职业母亲、退伍军人甚至法语使用者的小组。
W@M（微软）
微软最成功的员工资源小组之一是 W@M，即 “微软女性”。她们繁忙的年度活动安排使参与者能够磨练和拓展自己的技能。她们与女性拥有的供应商建立关系，并在女性学生较多的大学组织招聘活动。
员工资源小组如何改善公司文化？
员工资源小组帮助公司为每一位团队成员提供平等的机会，并为工作场所的人们提供一个支持性的微型社区。员工资源小组还有助于增强其成员的能力，让他们能够自如地分享自己独特的声音，为营造包容、充满活力的公司文化做出贡献。
以下为文章原文：
What is an employee resource group (ERG)?
An Employee Resource Group (ERG) is a group of people within an organization who voluntarily join together based on shared identity, values, interests, perspectives, or goals. The purpose of Employee Resource Groups is to strengthen workplace relationships, foster a sense of belonging, promote personal and professional growth, and ultimately nurture the entire company community.
Employee Resource Groups began in the 1960s to bolster the voice of minorities in the workplace. Today, ERGs represent general demographic groups, such as women or Latinx professionals. More specific groups represent people like single parents, veterans, or cancer survivors.
What is the purpose of Employee Resource Groups?
Employee Resource Groups harness the collective efforts of their members to create a sense of belonging and help equip them with the tools to advocate for themselves. ERGs also encourage inclusivity, and enact tangible change within the wider company culture. They also help boost morale, job satisfaction, and (ultimately) productivity.
They do this by:
Advocating for underrepresented team members within an organization
Fostering inclusivity
Encouraging allyship from others
Providing support and resources which benefit the career trajectory of its members
Promoting fair practice, creating a positive work environment for everyone
Increasing job satisfaction across an organization
Boosting—and maintaining—transparency between employers and their people
What are some types of Employee Resource Groups?
Most people create ERGs to advocate for people with certain shared backgrounds or life experiences. These may include:
Gender
Ethnicity
Religious affiliation
Disabilities
Socioeconomic background
Sexual orientation
Age
Parental status
People also organize ERGs around shared interests. The most common types of groups are:
Diversity resource groups. These groups focus on advocating for team members who are in the minority in their workplace.
Volunteer groups. These groups are usually formed by people wishing to support and give back to the community.
Affinity groups. Affinity groups are led by people who want to meet up with colleagues who share their interest in a specific activity or hobby. They encourage connection and socializing.
Professional development groups. Professional development groups encourage people to connect and collaborate, regardless of seniority or department. These groups encourage people to share their knowledge and develop skill sets. They can also offer training, e.g., learning how to code or tips for public speaking.
Why should HR leaders care about Employee Resource Groups?
Individuals naturally build relationships with friends in the workplace. Employee Resource Groups can provide people with a support network where they can voice their shared concerns to management or senior leadership.
ERGs can also help recruit candidates who identify with a specific group and give them a sense of belonging from day one. For example, a women’s ERG may source candidates and provide women on the team with personal mentorships and career development training. Ultimately, ERGs can boost morale and engagement, lower turnover rates, strengthen demographic diversity, and give people a greater sense of meaning in the workplace.
Why should people join an Employee Resource Group?
Employee Resource Groups go a long way when it comes to improving the day-to-day employee experience. But they also help foster healthy work cultures and a strong sense of community. Joining an ERG is also a great way for people to develop their professional leadership skills, make a difference at their company, and in the wider community.
How can you start an Employee Resource Group program at your company?
If you want to start a successful ERG program at your company, the first thing to focus is on is the fact that Employee Resource Groups are as unique as the people they reflect. To ensure its success, HR can partner with employee leaders to help them access the tools and resources they need to get new groups off the ground and thrive. HR leaders can support the establishment and growth of ERGs by:
Establishing ERG bylaws. Draft a straightforward document that includes the ERG bylaws. To maintain fairness, employers must have rules that apply equally to every ERG.
Maintaining ERG transparency. ERGs should establish their internal group policies (that align with company bylaws), mission statement, purpose, objectives, and role. Defining the group identity and goals can avoid stagnation and increase the chances of growth and success.
Demonstrating inclusivity. A team member who doesn’t necessarily fit the criteria of an ERG may still want to join for personal reasons. Letting them join—as long as they don’t disrupt the group—supports an inclusive company culture.
Fostering networking between different ERGs. An organization’s strength lies in the sense of unity between all departments and team members. Facilitating inter-ERG networking opportunities encourages people to connect. Holding optional cross-ERG recreational activities such as company sports teams, scavenger hunts, or beach clean-ups, for example, can foster relationships between team members across different groups.
Providing leadership opportunities. Each ERG needs an employee leader from within the group. HR professionals and managers can collaborate to identify emerging leaders and coach them throughout their ERG leadership position.
What are some examples of real-world Employee Resource Groups?
There are many notable ERGs shattering glass ceilings and reinvesting in their communities. Here are a few notable ERGs:
YoPros (TIIA)
The Young Professionals ERG—dubbed “YoPros”—at financial services firm, TIIA, organizes social events for its members, deploys social media recruitment to attract the younger generation of finance talent, and carries out numerous volunteering initiatives.
Professionals Network (Ernst and Young)
Ernst and Young’s initiative to “advance social equity and inclusive growth” received global equality standard (GES) recognition for its ERG programs and commitment to DEI&B. They have more than a dozen different ERGs and employee support groups, such as groups advocating for working mothers, veterans, and even French speakers.
W@M (Microsoft)
One of the most successful ERGs at Microsoft is W@M, or “Women at Microsoft.” Their busy annual events schedule enables participants to hone and expand their skill sets. They cultivate relationships with women-owned suppliers and organize recruitment drives at colleges where many students are women.
How can an Employee Resource Group improve company culture?
ERGs help companies offer equal opportunities for every team member and can provide a supportive micro-community for people in the workplace. They also help empower their members to feel comfortable sharing their unique voices and contributing to an inclusive and vibrant company culture.
【HR术语】什么是岗位轮换？（What is job rotation?）
什么是岗位轮换？
岗位轮换是一种内部流动形式，团队成员在特定时间内在不同岗位或部门之间流动，使个人获得不同的经验，并对公司的运营有广泛的了解。
对于那些勇于创新的组织来说，岗位轮换有很多好处。除其他好处外，它还能提高员工的专业技能、知识和适应能力。它还能降低员工流失率。
岗位轮换有哪些好处？
技能提高和发展
岗位轮换营造了一种鼓励员工学习新技能和新知识的工作环境。这种持续的学习曲线能提高专业技能，使员工适应性更强，成为企业更有价值的一部分。
提高员工参与度和满意度
单调的工作节奏会让许多人失去动力。提供成长和发展机会（如岗位轮换）的组织可以缓解这种单调感，并提供令人耳目一新的变化，重新点燃人们对工作的热情和承诺。
继任规划和人才发展
岗位轮换是发掘个人隐藏才能和能力的重要手段，有助于识别在不同岗位上展现潜力的优秀员工，从而鼓励他们寻求更高的发展机会。

What is job rotation?
Job rotation is a form of internal mobility where team members move between different roles or departments for a specific period of time, allowing individuals to gain diverse experiences and a broad understanding of a company’s operations.
Job rotation comes with many benefits for the innovative organizations that embrace it. Among other advantages, it enhances a workforce’s professional skills, knowledge, and adaptability. It also reduces employee turnover.
What are the benefits of job rotation?
Skill enhancement and development
Job rotation builds a workplace environment that encourages people to acquire new skills and knowledge. This continual learning curve boosts expertise, making your workforce adaptable and an even more valuable part of your organization.
Improved employee engagement and satisfaction
The monotonous rhythm of work can demotivate many of us. Organizations that offer opportunities for growth and development, like job rotation, can alleviate the monotony and provide a refreshing change that reignites people’s passion and commitment to their work.
Succession planning and talent development
Job rotation can be a valuable aid for uncovering a person’s hidden talents and aptitudes, helping you identify top performers who showcase potential in different roles so you can encourage them to pursue higher opportunities.
Enhanced collaboration and understanding
Exposure to different departments creates fertile ground for collaboration. Through job rotation, people gain a comprehensive understanding of how different departments in their company interrelate, improving teamwork.
What are the drawbacks of job rotation?
Disruption and adjustment periods
Frequent changes in roles can lead to disruption in workflow and productivity. People may take time to adapt to new roles and responsibilities, temporarily affecting performance in the short term.
Training and transition costs
Because of the necessary training and temporary disruption to productivity and operational efficiency, job rotation can incur additional costs.
Resistance to change
Some team members may be perfectly happy in their current roles and may resist job rotations in general.
Job rotation vs. job enrichment
Job enrichment differs from job rotation in that it focuses on enhancing an existing role by adding more responsibilities and autonomy, deepening a person’s engagement with their current position.
Job rotation involves moving team members across different roles and departments, broadening their skills and understanding.
Successful job rotation examples
Amazon
Amazon has accounting and finance job rotation programs that last between six months to two years.
These programs are solely for college and university undergraduates and are highly competitive—giving Amazon an abundant source of talented potential hires.
ManTech
The defense industry company ManTech offers job rotation opportunities in its offices around the world.
ManTech designed the program for people who want more of a challenge, keeping team members motivated and engaged with their work.
Microsoft
Microsoft’s two-year finance job rotation program allows its financial analysts to learn from senior leaders across the company, improve their skills, and receive a more senior role upon completion.
The program contributes to Microsoft’s succession planning and keeps its people committed by offering opportunities for career progression.
Developing a job rotation policy
Creating an effective job rotation policy requires careful planning and consideration that includes the following steps:
Clear objectives. Defining goals and KPIs for skill development and collaboration.
Eligibility criteria. Determining who qualifies for the program.
Rotation duration. Specifying how long rotations last.
Alignment with development goals. Tailoring rotations to align with people’s career aspirations.
Monitoring success. Tracking impact through measurable KPIs.
Best practices for implementing job rotation
Here are some best practices to keep in mind to successfully implement a job rotation program:
Assess team members’ interests and skills
It’s important to understand the interests, skills, and career aspirations of your organization’s people to design a rotation that aligns with them and brings out their unique potential.
Provide adequate training and support
To minimize disruption and ensure a smooth transition between roles, offer comprehensive training and support through a mentorship system. It’s a great way to share the kind of in-depth knowledge that can only come from hands-on experience.
Regular evaluation and feedback
Regularly assess a rotation’s effectiveness by measuring key KPIs and listening to feedback from people—making any necessary adjustments.
A powerful tool for your organization
Job rotation is a powerful tool for learning and development within your organization. It can be a core part of an employee development plan, but it requires a careful balance between your organization’s needs and the professional goals of its people.
When an organization successfully implements a job rotation program, it can help create a thriving workplace environment that nurtures talent, fosters growth, and drives innovation.
