Verbate's Community & Program uncovers the opportunities and challenges they'll face as an Employee Resource Group Leader, gathers solutions from best-in-class ERG Programs and experts actively tackling them, and breaks it all down into repeatable playbooks they can act on.
Instead of solving problems alone, you'll gain access to a powerful network of Leaders who can share learnings and experience from leading the same type of group.
Every month you'll have the opportunity to attend fireside chats, collaborative workshops, and live events that will propel your ERG Leadership strategies to the next level.
Verbate gives Leaders unique access to leaders across the professional and academic worlds who are actively building and innovating on the future of employee experience. Verbate's experts include leaders from organizations like Netflix, Harvard Business School, Udemy, BambooHR, and more.
The Verbate ERG Leadership Community is a leadership development experience designed specifically for ERG Leads. This program offers a unique opportunity for ERG Leads to learn best practices, develop key leadership skills, and collaborate with peers across various industries, ultimately strengthening their impact within their organizations.
By buying a seat to the ERG Leadership Community, you also gain enrollment into one of our Foundational Training cohorts.
You can sign up for the ERG Leadership Community & Foundational Training by purchasing a seat using the form above. We recommend registering early to secure your seat, as space is limited for each cohort to ensure thoughtful collaboration and attention.
The core program consists of four weekly, live sessions hosted via Zoom, each lasting 60 minutes, totaling 4 hours of learning. Each session focuses on a specific topic related to ERG leadership and includes expert-led content, interactive discussions, and practical exercises.
After you've completed the Foundational Training, you continue to have access to the Community's Resource Library, cross-company ERG Leader meet ups, expert fireside chats, deep dives, workshops, and so much more.
If you're unable to attend one of the sessions, don't worry - all of them will be recorded (excluding any of the breakout sessions) and will be accessible to the participant for later viewing.
The cost to join the Foundational Training & Community is $599 per leader. This price includes access to all the program materials and access to the Community of other ERG leaders who have participated in the Foundational Traininig. If you participate with 5 or more ERG Leaders from your organization, you may be eligible to receive a group discount.
Yes, many companies offer professional development budgets for their employees. We encourage you to check with your HR or Learning & Development department to see if they can cover the cost of the program.
Here's an email you can use to justify the reimbursement of the program to your company leadership. You can present the program as an opportunity to invest in your professional development as an ERG leader, highlighting the benefits it will bring to your organization in terms of improved ERG strategy, engagement, and impact.
Of course! The Verbate ERG Leadership Community & Foundational Training is open to ERG Leads and other relevant ERG champions from any company, regardless of size or industry.
Of course! In every cohort we tend to have a good handful of Program Managers participating, especially if its their company's first time putting Leads through. It gives Program Managers a good grasp of the frameworks their Leads may employ, as well as an understanding of the resources and content that is available to them. (Not to mention - Program Managers ought to have a strong grasp of these concepts, too!)
Once a Leader completes the cohort, a few things happen: 1) they'll receive a certificate from Verbate for ERG Leadership that they can upload to your LinkedIn profile, 2) they'll be able to continue participating in the Community to collaborate and continue learning from your peers, and 3) they'll be able to continue using all of the resources and templates they've gained access to via Verbate.
