Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Employee Network Groups (ENGs)

Employee Network Groups (ENGs) are employee-led, self-directed, voluntary groups that offer opportunities to network internally, attract a diverse employee base, elevate inclusive ideas and solutions, and create opportunities for mentoring and career development. ENGs are open to all CREC employees. Participation is not restricted by identity; rather, ENGs are spaces where employees from all backgrounds are welcomed to learn, support one another, and advance equity together.

Why do we have ENGs at CREC?

• To help create a sense of belonging for all employees.
• To support a healthy and inclusive work environment.
• To provide a collective voice around shared issues or concerns.
• To promote internal diversity initiatives.

What will ENGs focus on?

• Assisting to foster a healthy and inclusive climate.
• Leveraging diverse perspectives to encourage new ideas and innovation, and lead to better outcomes for stakeholders (students, families, and staff.)
• Hosting and promoting Professional Development
