The SIOP Foundation recently partnered with the HR Policy Association (HRPA), which represents nearly 400 chief human resources officers (CHROs) from major employers in the U.S. and globally. Their first collaborative project focused on employee resource groups (ERGs).
The initiative began with a request for experts to summarize key scientific findings on various topics. SIOP members Dia Chatterjee, Larry Martinez, Ann Marie Ryan, and Kecia Thomas, guided by SIOP Foundation trustees Mirian Graddick-Weir and David Rodriguez, developed concise summaries for HRPA. HRPA then designed a survey and follow-up interviews to assess ERG practices among CHROs with input from Dia Chatterjee, Ann Marie Ryan, Bill Macey, and Nancy Tippins.
The interviews were conducted by Dia Chatterjee, Adrienne Colella, Sarah Walker, Jennifer Wessel, Felix Wu, and Ann Marie Ryan, with support from HRPA’s Tim Bartl, Ani Huang, Alexandria Trujillo, and Nancy Hammer. The resulting HRPA report has now been released and can be viewed on this HR Policy Association CHRO Resource Groups guide.
Beyond the survey, HRPA hosted a workshop for CHRO members on ERG-related topics, where Ann Marie Ryan presented insights from an I-O psychology perspective. She will also author a separate report analyzing the survey results through the I-O psychology lens.
This partnership realizes one of the primary goals of SIOP Foundation: to ensure that the science and best practices of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology are accessible to leaders who can drive meaningful change within organizations.
