Virtual ERG Leader Development Program 2023

FLOURISH is an eight-week virtual program that will develop the skills required for 2SLGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group (ERG)* leaders to be effective and successful in their roles. Those who lead 2SLGBTQIA+ ERGs have an enormous opportunity to create change for Two-Spirit, queer and trans employees. They also face very specific challenges in Canadian workplaces. While session content will touch on the mechanics of ERGs, the primary focus of FLOURISH will be developing individual competency in four areas:

• Domestic and international 2SLGBTQIA+ economic issues
• Building business cases and generating buy-in for 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion
• Principles of governance and volunteer management
• Providing peer support to 2SLGBTQIA+ people and their allies

APPLICATION
To support a positive learning experience the number of participants in FLOURISH 2023 will be limited. Please provide us with some information about who you are and why you’d like to participate. We’ll use this information to determine a FLOURISH 2023 cohort that represents the broad diversity of both the workplaces and communities we serve.

The process by which those interested in participating will open on Monday, August 14, 2023. The deadline for applications will be Friday, September 29, 2023 at 11:59 PM ET. Those selected for the FLOURISH cohort will pay a participation fee of $1500 (+ tax) for employees of Pride at Work Canada’s Proud Partners and $2000 (+ tax) for employees of other organizations, due upon acceptance.
