One of the most powerful ways our people shape the company at Staffbase is through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).

These are employee-led communities that create space, raise voices, share knowledge, and build belonging. Whether you’re looking for connection, advocacy, celebration, or allyship, there’s a space here for you.

ERGs and why they matter

ERGs (Employee Resource Groups) are voluntary, grassroots communities led by employees for employees. They’re spaces where people with shared identities, experiences, or interests can come together to connect, support one another, and educate the wider company.

At Staffbase, we support ERGs not just because they build community, but because they drive culture. They help us see and support one another more fully.

ERGs provide safe, supportive spaces where employees can connect around shared experiences and identities, such as parenthood and caregiving, neurodiversity, or LGBTQIA+ inclusion. And they give employees at all levels learning opportunities and a way to lead with authenticity, empathy, and purpose.

Meet our ERGs communities at Staffbase

CommuniQueers — LGBTQIA+ ERG for the community and allies

CommuniQueers supports equality and belonging for our LGBTQIA+ community — a space built around allyship as much as identity. From Pride events and resource sharing to celebrating Christopher Street Day together, this group is about showing up and standing up, together.

Parents & Caregivers

This ERG advocates for a balanced and inclusive environment for all caregivers — a community for parents and caregivers navigating work and family life together. It's a space to share the practical realities of balancing career and caregiving, and to help shape a workplace that supports people through every stage of that journey.

BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) at Staffbase

Our BIPOC ERG fosters a supportive community for employees from diverse backgrounds. It’s a group to connect, share lived experiences, and celebrate heritage. By elevating BIPOC voices within our organization, this group plays a key role in shaping a more inclusive culture and informing internal policies, hiring practices, and awareness initiatives that reflect our values of equity and representation.

EmpowerHER - Women’s ERG

EmpowerHer is our dedicated space for women across all roles and levels to come together, share experiences, and support one another’s personal and professional growth. From mentorship programs to self-defense courses, EmpowerHer drives conversations around gender equity, safety in public spaces, and career advancement. The group empowers women while fostering a workplace where everyone benefits from inclusive leadership.

Neurodiversity

Our Neurodiversity ERG champions the strengths and perspectives of employees who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other cognitive variations. It works to increase understanding, advocate for inclusive work environments, and break down stigmas. This group reminds us that innovation flourishes when different ways of thinking are embraced—and that true belonging means being seen, heard, and supported in how we work best.

Cycling

What began as a shared love for cycling has grown into a community that promotes wellness, connection, and sustainable living. Our Cycling ERG encourages active commuting, organizes group rides, and supports local initiatives. It brings together colleagues in a fun and healthy way while sparking broader conversations about the sport and how we can reduce our carbon footprint.
