Epoch, a leading employee experience platform, has introduced Communities, a new feature designed to help organizations better manage Employee Resource Groups and culture groups. This tool enables Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging leaders to organize, scale, and track cultural initiatives efficiently under a single dashboard.
Addressing DEIB Challenges in Hybrid and Remote Workplaces
Managing ERGs and culture groups manually can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially in hybrid and remote environments. Common challenges include:
-
Administrative Burden – Manually tracking memberships, coordinating events, and measuring engagement takes time away from fostering meaningful connections.
-
Low Visibility and Engagement – Employees rely on multiple platforms, making it harder to stay involved in cultural initiatives.
How Communities Transforms ERG and Culture Group Management
Epoch’s Communities feature centralizes all ERG and culture group activities into one platform, allowing companies to:
Reduce Administrative Overhead – Automate membership tracking, event coordination, and engagement analysis.
Enhance Employee Involvement – Improve event visibility and communication for seamless participation.
Measure Engagement with Real-Time Analytics – Gain insights through custom surveys, attendance tracking, and participation metrics to optimize DEIB initiatives.
Scale Cultural Programs – Expand ERG reach with structured tools for managing events, communications, and engagement.
Industry Leaders on the Impact of Communities
Jamie Adasi, Director of People Experience & Inclusion at Greenhouse Software, emphasized how Communities will streamline their ERG operations:
“Our Arbors (Greenhouse ERGs) are a key part of our culture. Epoch Communities helps us centralize event management, automate communications, and access real-time analytics. This structured approach allows us to scale programs, measure impact, and strengthen employee connections in our remote-first environment.”
Jade Choy, Co-founder and CEO of Epoch, highlighted the platform’s mission:
“Communities is a must-have for DEIB and culture leaders. It eliminates manual processes, allowing ERG leaders to focus on fostering a positive workplace culture and creating meaningful employee experiences.”
