Making an Impact through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Maximillian Hartman, Gilbane Building Company

Joe Visgaitis, Gilbane Building Company

Hear from two highly respected leaders from Gilbane Building Company, who assist in heading two of the company’s ERGs (Employee Resource Groups). Maximillian Hartman, chairperson of Gilbane’s PRIDE ERG, and Joe Visgaitis, Mid-Atlantic Regional Leader of Gilbane’s Military Advantage ERG, will share their wealth of knowledge and lessons learned over the past years of being involved with leadership in these groups. Discussion topics include: how to engage with all employees (internal vs external outreach); how to share the impact and maintain retention; and getting from management what you will need to be successful. Hartman and Visgaitis will share how they’ve observed great benefits from these groups, including more efficient problem solving, bridging gaps for those who engage, financial benefit for the company, and benefits for attracting potential talent and clients.
