Welcome back, community builders! I’m your host, Anamaria Dorgo. Today, I’m joined by Cory Welsh to talk about the power of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) for women in the workplace.

Cory is a Senior Enablement Lead at LinkedIn and the Global Co-Lead of the Member Engagement pillar for Women@LinkedIn.

In this episode, you’ll hear how LinkedIn’s longest-running ERG is structured, what drives its purpose, and how a volunteer-led initiative can create real impact across a global company.

Cory also introduces a powerful idea: the Vision to Values Strategy. It’s a simple way to keep a community focused by tying its work back to the company’s bigger vision. At LinkedIn, that means empowering and inspiring women to grow their careers while staying authentic.

The strategy starts with a mission statement and breaks down into three clear pillars: building skills, strengthening the community, and amplifying impact. These guide the ERG’s work and ensure every effort connects to LinkedIn’s mission and values.

Enjoy the conversation!
