DEIB committees, Employee Resource Groups (ERG), and affinity groups are often a cornerstone in an organization’s DEIB strategy. Ethos offers a structured program for refining these initiatives. This offering gives organizations the greatest value from the time, resources, and energy dedicated to establishing these employee-powered committees.
Ethos will support developing and implementing your organization’s DEIB committee or at least one ERG or affinity group. The resulting DEIB Vision Statement, Principles, and Initiatives may be suitable for a DEIB portion of your website (for example, linked from the Careers page).
In this option, Ethos will:

- Help the committee design applications and deploy them across the organization
- Support the committee’s member selection process and communicate results across the organization
