Abstract: Abstract Employee resource groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups with a shared social identity, common interest, and commitment to continuous learning and development through traditional approaches such as mentoring and career development. Despite growing popularity among practitioners, there has been limited research and academic literature that has focused on ERGs in an organizational context. Given the limited studies on ERGs, developmental relationships among members of an ERG as a source of relational social justice activism is an unexplored topic for human resource development (HRD). In this chapter, I will integrate research that has studied ERGs, developmental relationships, and social justice to respond to the question: What is the potential for developmental relationships among members of employee resource groups to influence socially just and morally inclusive organizations?
