Guide to Employee Network and Affinity Groups
A guide to understanding, creating and managing employee networks and affinity groups.
Author: Diversity Best Practice
"Employee networks are a key part of a company’s D&I strategy. They are effective tools for
championing programs and people, a corporation’s greatest asset."
This guide is a chapter excerpt from Diversity Best Practices' Diversity Primer publication. It outlines what employee networks (or 'affinity groups') are and what the benefits are, how to create them, how they work best and how to run and manage them, and how to measure their impacts and successes.
The guide was produced for an American audience, but its thoroughness and inclusive vision is relevant for many different organisations, institutions and cultures.
