ERG's in our organization have to be representing a protected class as defined in our employee handbook. Groups need to get signatures on a petition and a leadership member to sponsor in order to apply, and they have to fill out a charter template. Once approved, we then have a budgeted line item for each group with an individual budget. They are required to provide a benefit to employees and a benefit to the business.

How Are You Effectively Onboarding and Upskilling Contract or Agency Hires While Maintaining Compliance Boundaries?

I’m interested in learning how other organizations are managing the balance between effective engagement and compliance when working with contract or agency hires. Specifically:

1. What strategies or tools do you use to onboard and upskill contingent workers without blurring the lines of employment?

2. How do you ensure they’re aligned with your culture, processes, and performance expectations while maintaining an arms-length relationship?

3. Are there any best practices or lessons learned you can share around managing this workforce segment at scale?
