•  Our business decisions will be better informed and considered

Employee Resource Groups - Another Dimension of Diversity and Inclusion

Exelon’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) support diversity and inclusion, bring insight to Exelon’s strategies and goals, and serve as a resource to the corporation and its employees. The groups are self-initiated, voluntary, corporate-wide, free of charge and inclusive to all employees.  Current ERGs represent various communities including:

• African Americans 
• Latinos
• Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Individuals 
• Women 
• Military/Veterans
• Developing Young Professionals 
• Asian Americans
• Environmental Focused 

Employee Resource Groups are an integral part of Exelon’s diversity and inclusion strategy, as they strengthen employee links, raise awareness, share knowledge, provide perspectives, improve recruitment, promote personal growth and serve as a forum for education, communication and professional development. Externally, they work to strengthen corporate citizenship, alert Exelon to new market opportunities and build ties to the communities in which the organization operates.

Reflecting the Communities We Serve

In support of our commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce, Exelon partners with a number of national and local organizations to reach a diverse pipeline of talent.
