Soooo many announcement, updates, etc to provide....but first! I promised to share my answer to the icebreaker question that I had at the #RethinkHRTech . #IntranetReloaded event last week! ❓ The Question: How can HR Teams support ERG Leaders via digital platforms? 💬 My Answer: (hot take, per usual) is NOT to invest in new ERG specific softwares, but instead to teach ERG Leaders how to use the digital platforms that they already have access to for free. It's quite wild to me that most ERG Leaders don't fully know how to leverage Slack's Canvases, or use Team's audio function, or check out their intranet page's analytics, or automate DM's in Facebook's Workplace, or even view Yammer's analytics. This is a problem...one that most paid softwares don't even solve for...and all of these things are FREE. Trust and believe- The ERG Movement will be solving for this in the very near future. I understand the reason why most ERG Leaders aren't taught this is because 🅰️ The HR/DEI Leader also doesn't know this exists. Most employees aren't thoroughly taught how to use their existing platforms. Not sure who's to blame for that or even if blame is necessary, but it is a huge gap. 🅱️ If you were to list alllllll of the opportunities that exist with your current platforms, it could feel overwhelming for you and/or the leads...without processes. Yep, back to the 2nd P of #TheERG3Ps If you don't take the time to build these out, then there's no one stop place to note all of these capabilities. both A & B takes time, something that most don't have in this space. Again, my aim is to solve for this. #TheERGMovement Stay tuned for the announcement, etc that I mentioned above! And if you haven't joined ERG Champs yet, I highly recommend that you do! https://lnkd.in/eVY2b_Ff - The ERG Homegirl

Absolutely love this Maceo !! YES!! Have to learn the tools that we have before we go buy new ones!! Makes so much sense.. and I know that resources to learn can be time intensive.. however I've noticed lately that there are LinkedIn (like yours❤️) Tiktok, YouTube and a plethora of other platform channels for everything from excel to Smartsheet and R Language. That's fun time for me🤣🤣💕

You are so spot on with this! Learn to use what you have first and then decide if there are gaps are left to fill for support.
