Are ERG Leaders overworked, under-supported and expected to change the world? Let’s be real, so many ERG leaders are doing the heavy lifting with little support. They’re expected to drive inclusion, shape culture, and make a real impact… all while juggling their actual day jobs. Sound familiar? ERGs should be powerhouses for change, not passion projects running on empty. Want to know how to fix it?

Quick Tips: Executive Retention Strategies Hiring top executives is one thing. Keeping them? That’s where the real challenge begins. If your leadership team feels like a revolving door, here’s how to stop the spin: 1️⃣ Challenge Them (In a Good Way) High-performing execs don’t want to coast. Give them big problems to solve, strategic decisions to own, and the autonomy to make an impact. 2️⃣ Compensate Beyond Salary Money matters, but so does meaning. Equity, long-term incentives, and a clear growth trajectory keep top talent engaged for the long haul. 3️⃣ Culture Is King A toxic or uninspiring culture will send your best leaders running. Build an environment where innovation, inclusion, and transparency aren’t just buzzwords, they’re how you operate. 4️⃣ Invest in Their Growth Executives don’t have all the answers. Offer mentorship, executive coaching, or opportunities to expand their expertise. If they’re not growing, they may be going. 5️⃣ Work-Life Balance (Yes, Even for Execs) Burnout at the top trickles down. Leaders who feel supported, not just stretched thin, stick around longer. Flexibility isn’t just for junior employees. 💡 Retention isn’t about locking people in—it’s about giving them every reason to stay. Tag a leader who gets this right or share your best retention strategies in the comments!
