This is an in-person event
Audience
This event is open to Employee Network Chairs/Co-Chairs, DEI and HR Practitioners, Leaders, and Executive Network Sponsors. It is designed for everyone leading, involved in, working with, and/or supporting the work of Employee Networks
Background
Employee networks play a crucial role in fostering inclusive workplace cultures and have become vital to organisation’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ambitions. They provide a platform for diverse voices and drive organizational change.
The Employee Networks Forum 2025 aims to empower those involved in these networks, offering insights, strategies, and connections to enhance their effectiveness.
ERGs serve as important catalysts for community building within organizations. According to a McKinsey report (1) from 2022 on employee networks, 66% of employees believe that their ERG is effective at fostering a sense of community.
BITC has been training, supporting, and working with hundreds of employee networks. This summit has come about based on a need of bringing together network leads and creating a space for exchange, collaboration, peer support, and best practice insights.
About This event
From fostering inclusivity, advancing diversity to driving innovation, advocacy and action, many organisations in the UK would not be where they are today if it wasn’t for the relentless and passionate work of employee networks.
The Employee Networks Forum 2025 is the premier gathering for professionals leading and supporting employee networks. It’s a celebration of the impact employee networks have had on workplaces from across the country.
Attendees will gain actionable insights from industry leaders, access the latest best practice, and network with peers. This summit will provide the space, tools and guidance to harness the full potential of employee networks.
