ERG Policy Guide
Review & Creation.
To run ERGs equitably and at scale, every organization needs documented policies and procedures — communicated clearly to leaders, sponsors and the organization. ELA builds that document with you, using a proven framework developed in consultation with employment law counsel.
- Review of existing policies or creation from scratch if you don't have any
- Tailored to your organization, your structure, your ERG types, your naming conventions
- Delivered as an editable document that's yours to maintain, update and share
- Custom scoped and quoted based on your current documentation and portfolio size
Pricing is based on your starting point and portfolio size.
- No policy guide at all — building from scratch
- Existing policies that need review and updating
- Informal policies that need to be formally documented
- Policies that need regional or global adaptation

REQUEST A QUOTE →Running ERGs Without Written Rules Puts Organizations at Risk.
Undocumented policies create inconsistency across ERGs, confusion about roles and responsibilities and risk — legal, operational and reputational. When policies exist only in people's heads, they leave when those people do.
Policy creates consistency and fairness across ERGs, thereby reducing legal risk and reputational harm for the organization and all the individuals managing the ERGs. Well-documented, easily accessible ERG oversight policies improve efficiency and reduce confusion, frustration and overlap within and between ERG roles, helping set a clear path for healthy ERGs with happy leaders, members, sponsors and allies
It's also a living document — ELA recommends reviewing it at least annually and communicating every change to leaders and sponsors, the same way an HR policy handbook is maintained.
Review or Creation —
Scoped to Where You Are.
The engagement looks different depending on whether you're starting from scratch or building on existing documentation. Both paths end in the same place: a complete, tailored, editable policy guide your organization can use immediately.
ELA reviews what you currently have — written policies, informal practices, or a combination — against the full policy guide framework and identifies what's complete, what needs updating and what's missing entirely.
