Program stagnation is a common challenge for social impact leaders. As programs mature, growth can plateau — just like it did for Cisco. But rather than sticking with traditional CSR methods to increase engagement, Cisco took an innovative approach, treating participation growth like any business transformation. Cisco developed a transformative 3-part framework to create a seamless giving experience and make social impact a habit for its people. 👉 Discover all the insights in the report: https://bit.ly/40QEqEr #SocialImpact #CSR #EmployeeEngagement #BusinessTransformation

How are you supporting your Employee Resource Group (ERG) leads to prevent burnout? 😫 It’s easy for passion to turn into overload without the right guidance. Here are our top tips for supporting ERG leads: 🔹 Clarify roles: Formal roles within ERGs keep responsibilities balanced and avoid a passive approach where all responsibilities fall on the leader. 🔹 Set term limits: 1-2 year terms for ERG leads prevent burnout and encourage turnover. 🔹 Focus on impact: Encourage ERG leads to concentrate on fewer, more high-impact initiatives rather than spreading themselves too thin. 🔹 Plan ahead: Advocate for planning annual initiatives early in the year to avoid last-minute stress and hassle. 🔹 Promote delegation: Guide leaders to delegate, plan for succession and work with co-leads to share the load. #DiversityMatters #ERG #InclusionMatters #EmployeeResourceGroups #DEI
