TJX Presents:
The Fifth Annual Employee Resource Group Summit

Amplify. EnERGize. Thrive.
Powering Your ERGs Purpose 

The current environment has been and is disrupting us, our communities, and the business landscape. This has caused a shift in how our companies are leveraging ARG groups. These groups have been asked to play a bigger role in helping advance their organization’s thinking around I&D in today’s new world of work.

The goal of this summit is to provide a space for ARG leaders and I&D professionals to share stories on how these groups have come together during these times, further energize them to keep their momentum, and help them understand their role in the bigger picture. 

Here are a few of the organizations looking to power their ERGs purpose at this year’s summit: CapitalOne, LinkedIn, Wells Fargo, Prudential, Papa Johns, MIT, LogMein, Unilever, General Dynamics, Car Gurus, Mass General Hospital, Stop and Shop, Keurig, ExxonMobile, and DentaQuest.
