The following guidelines should be followed regarding communications: Internal Communications: • ERGs can send emails and messages to group members freely and without approval. • ERG Leads and Co-Leads can send company-wide communications after obtaining prior review and approval from the Marketing department. • External emails are not permitted. External Communications: To protect the confidentiality of ERG members, CREA will not publish ERG-related materials on external platforms. However, ERG members are encouraged to share their general experiences as members of a CREA-related ERG. CREA urges employees to maintain confidentiality regarding information shared in meetings while also encouraging them to share their support on their personal social media accounts. Events CREA encourages ERGs to organize events aimed at engaging and increasing participation among their members. These events foster a sense of belonging and connection for CREA employees. To ensure that CREA can fully support these activities, structured events should be included in the ERG’s annual plan. Below are guidelines for hosting both internal and external events.
