Creating an Employee Resource Group: Red Hat Asian Network
summary
Launched February 2021 after a five‑person founding committee, the Red Hat Asian Network documents a concrete business case: US headcount shows 12% Asian vs 76% white, volunteer‑built ERG with an executive sponsor, a North America focus, and advocacy targets including the bamboo ceiling and mental‑health support. Activities include joint workshops with Blacks United Leadership, partnerships across ERGs, a public resource page and external consultancy support; early results show new cross‑group relationships, planned deliverables and measurable training materials.
