Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

The Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) ERG provides a support network and promotes allyship for AAPI employees, celebrates the diversity within AAPI, advances AAPI issues, and champions AAPI recruitment, retention, and engagement within Dartmouth Health. We aim to establish a welcoming space to develop friendships, share experiences, and learn from one another. Our coming together will elevate awareness as we stand in solidarity with others who promote belonging and inclusivity.

The Dartmouth Health Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) ERG promotes unity, provides support, and enables professional advancement and advocacy for BIPOC faculty, staff and students. We partner with Dartmouth Health and allies to equip members with tools, knowledge, and resources to contribute to the community in meaningful ways. We are building on the pillars of community, mentorship, professional development, and empowerment, and we embrace the values of cultural humility, respect, honesty, integrity, and support.

The purpose of the Embody+ ERG is to meet and discuss how we begin changing the narrative about what constitutes wellness, health, and acceptance as it relates to body size within our workplace and local community. We take a health at every size approach. We welcome as friends, allies, and members, regardless of weight or body size, all people who want to work toward breaking down the stigma around body size and body shaming.

The Emerging Leaders ERG fosters networking, free-thinking, allyship and community in order to cultivate the next generation of leaders for Dartmouth Health. We seek to make a difference by enabling our colleagues to explore career paths in the healthcare system, to meet new people, to expand their knowledge and expertise, and to develop mentoring relationships.

The Gender and Sexuality Alliance ERG nurtures community between peers and allies by bonding over shared experiences and sharing our authentic selves. We work together to maintain and grow a supportive environment where everyone thrives.

The International Employee Resource Group (IERG) provides a support network for international employees, fosters allyship among employees, and promotes opportunities for recruitment, retention, recognition, and engagement of international employees within Dartmouth Health. We advance cultural appreciation and positive self-identity among our members, and we form partnerships to promote diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging for all employees.

The purpose of the Military ERG is to bring together military service members, veterans, families and supporters to create a welcoming environment at Dartmouth Health. We work together to build this community by connecting employees who have served or are currently serving, including their families; supporting spouses and dependents during service member’s deployment; encouraging career exploration and growth with our organization; building relationships and connections with the broader military community; and nurturing a deeper understanding of the unique experience of serving as a member of the military community.

The purpose of the Remote Employee Resource Group is to create a welcoming environment, foster a supportive community, and promote collaboration to address the unique challenges faced by Dartmouth Health employees who work remotely, enhancing overall engagement and well-being.

The Working Parents and Caregivers ERG is founded on the notion that, no matter what led us here, we are all balancing the demands of work and family life. This group creates community and support for all parents and caregivers working in our health system. We believe this community faces additional challenges besides typical work-life challenges. We need to know we're not alone in our struggles and can come together and find creative and innovative ways to support this subset of employees.
