Leading grassroots programs to drive change
NielsenIQ’s Employee Resource Groups (ERG) program is an associate-led global network focused on implementing and activating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within our company and communities. ERGs foster an inclusive culture, create a platform for awareness, and help grow our business through innovation and collaboration.
Our nine Employee Resource Groups include more than 2,500 associates as members and operate in 83 countries. These groups help drive our culture while also providing real business impact.
ERGs are also supported by 56 inclusion impact teams that help us localize our diversity and inclusion strategy to the unique needs of the markets where we operate.
Me & You. We are so much bigger than us & them.
Providing space & time to have open dialogue where everyone’s voices can be heard, welcomed, and valued is vital to creating inclusive environments The Me & You Series provides that space by bringing together associates from a variety of backgrounds to educate, empower, and engage with one another. One of our programs, the My Story Our Voices podcast, is available externally as well so all can be part of these inspirational conversations.
Honoring identities to grow awareness
Every month is an opportunity to celebrate the cultures, identities, and backgrounds of the world we measure and represent in our ranks. In addition to honoring Black History Month and Pride Month, we identify other months for our ERGs to build awareness and promote initiatives across a variety of affinity groups.
NielsenIQ also puts together full celebration and education programs around key dates, such as International Women’s Day and National Coming Out Day.
