It's a place for you.
It doesn't matter who you are,
it doesn't matter what your beliefs are.
There's someone here for you
that's going to help you be successful.
ERGs are at the center
of driving the ultimate culture of a company.
I would define ERGs as a space
where you can go to be your true authentic self.
It's a diverse group of people
and allows you to be successful in your role.
ERGs impact the full employee life cycle.
We are involved in recruiting.
We are involved in professional development.
We promote education throughout our events.
What's really unique about this program
is that we are using it as a leadership development incubator.
It's a global set of employee resource groups now,
so we're having that common view across the whole
of the Raytheon Technologies business.
One of the most critical links in all of this
is the role of the Executive Sponsor.
Their presence is going to help drive what we need to see
from other leaders throughout the organization.
One of the foundations that we're trying to make now
is not just to support our people,
but also to communicate to the business leaders
the value that this group brings to the business.
It really is serving to break down some of the barriers
between our companies, between our corporate offices,
and really come together as one cohesive organization.
It's a voice for the representative groups
across the business.
When we work together
and open ourselves up to different styles,
really there's nothing that we can't achieve.
