Employee-Led Resource Groups

 

Supporting Each Other

By having Employee-led Resource Groups (ERGs) it is our hope that we can create a new channel of communication and connectivity, while lending a voice to the variety of demographics represented throughout AssuredPartners.


Mission Statement

  • Establish an open forum where employees with shared interests can aspire, develop and collaborate to educate, raise awareness, and share information about issues that affect historically marginalized communities
  • Provide professional development, networking, and cultural appreciation opportunities
  • Create a positive work environment by improving and promoting diversity, equity, equality, and inclusion

DEI at a Glance

  • Over 1,500 employees are members of ERGs

  • In 2022, employees donated over 3,599 hours DEI-related activities

  • In 2022, our ERGs provided over 37 hours of education to AP employees

The AAPI Collective ERG seeks to create a supportive community for the personal and professional growth of Asian American and Pacific Islander employees of AssuredPartners. As an ERG, we aim to empower and celebrate AAPI employees by sharing our rich and diverse cultures with each other and our allies.
