Employee Resource Groups

At NJIT, we envision a future where our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) stand as the pillars of an institution enriched by diversity, driven by inclusivity, and energized by collaboration.

Current Employee Resource Groups

At NJIT, Employee Resource Groups seek to embrace the potential of our diverse faculty and staff, foster spaces for underrepresented voices, and establish networks of support, mentorship, and empowerment. By championing intersectional collaboration across departments and roles, we aim to ensure that NJIT isn’t just a workplace but a thriving community where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.

Forming an Employee Resource Group

As part of NJIT's commitment to a respectful workplace, The Department of Human Resources along with the Office of Inclusive Excellence assists in forming and furthering the efforts of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Recognized ERGS should have a purpose that does one or more of the following:

  • Fosters Inclusivity and Belonging at NJIT

  • Enhances Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity

  • Facilitates Networking and Collaboration

  • Aligns with NJIT's Strategic Plan

Employees interested in forming a new resource group are encouraged to email HR@njit.edu.
