Employee Resource Group Conference
While most ERGs traditionally hosted annual member conferences, Union Pacific’s eight ERGs participated in Union Pacific’s first all-ERG conference in 2016 in Omaha, NE, home to our corporate headquarters. Our ERGs will share best practices and development opportunities tailored to their specific needs at our 2018 all-ERG conference in Omaha on October 30.
Meet, Eat, Advise and Learn
Executives host quarterly lunch meetings providing intimate networking opportunities for ERG members in groups of four. Groups discuss professional growth, development and work/life integration. Employees share information and build relationships in a positive manner.
Supporting Our Business
ERGs provide business updates and offer sessions with department leaders educating members about various company roles and potential opportunities. Members also help departments solve business challenges, providing professional growth opportunities.
