2023
Overview
PurposeThis article illustrates the experiences of employee resource group (ERG) members over a two-year period with the aim of understanding the benefits and risks of membership for sexual minority employees.Design/methodology/approachQualitative interview data were collected from seven lesbian, gay or bisexual ERG members following an extreme case approach at two points in time separated by two years.FindingsThree themes of outcomes related to ERG membership emerged from the data. Participants reported both benefits and risks associated with the social and career-related consequences of membership. The role that allies play in providing visibility, legitimacy and support to ERG members also emerged and shifted in importance over the two years between interviews, with ally involvement becoming more important to career outcomes over time.Practical implicationsThis study illuminates potential consequences of supporting ERGs for minority employees, as well as insight into the role of allies in these groups.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by revealing several individual outcomes of a growing form of diversity management practice: ERGs.
