Company Networks

Setting up a network

As part of their diversity and inclusion initiatives, a number of companies have started to form groups to build and support communities within their businesses. These groups have a number of titles, includes Employee Resource Groups, Business Resource Groups, Employee Networks, Leadership Forums and Diversity Groups.

These groups are common in firms that are also Diversity Champions, and as with that programme- it should be appreciated that these can be difficult for the small and medium sized enterprises, that dominate engineering, to develop and maintain.

Creating a definitive list of companies with networks to support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender engineers is a challenge, as not all groups have a presence outside of the business. If you know of any networks missing from this list, please get in contact.
