Re-engineering Inclusion
summary
ERG uplift Tech rewrites its charter to move from volunteer labor to advisory and targeted investment, then forms a biweekly tech diversity working group made of directors, managers, HR and ERG reps with mandatory attendance for leaders. They build the promo sponsor program: HR matches engineers with outside managers who audit promotion packets, attend calibrations and advocate. Pilot results: 15 of 16 sponsor cases do not get promoted, but two thirds of participants report better clarity and trust in decisions, and managers learn to coach each other.
