    Employee Resource Groups

    Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) at The Jackson Laboratory are voluntary, employee-led groups that foster an inclusive workplace aligned with the JAX mission. These groups are formed around shared characteristics or interests. ERGs at JAX provide a supportive community for employees, promote professional development, and contribute to the company's overall inclusion strategy. By offering a platform for networking, mentorship, and advocacy, ERGs help create a more engaged and empowered workforce.

    Employees who join ERGs can:

    • Help JAX by increasing awareness and knowledge around specific identities or topics in the workplace
    • Identify opportunities for us to become more inclusive.
    • Identify best practices throughout the organization and get those communicated as broadly as possible for others to continue using.
    • Provide greater opportunities to connect with senior management.
    • Form greater camaraderie amongst employees at all levels of the organization.
