CREATING SAFE SPACES
Share your voice and find support
As an ERG leader, Christina Rowe does more than schedule events. “My role involves listening to the needs of group members regarding career development, community and more,” she said.

EDUCATION FOSTERS EMPATHY
A focus on learning cultivates compassion
Erika Porras Gutierrez’s work leading Xero’s ERG for Indigenous Americans has enhanced her employee experience in several ways. “It has clarified what inclusion really means, taught me new ways of interacting with people and made me more empathetic,” she said. Not only has she grown personally due to this role, but it’s also encouraged her to engage with other engineering teams in an effort to better understand her peers’ needs.
