We created this playbook for Program Administrators who are responsible for planning and executing the day-to-day program in their Affinity Groups instance. This guide is designed to help you leverage the Affinity Groups tool to support your corporate DEI goals and empower your Employee Resource Groups.
You may be a team of one or a team of many, but your role likely includes some of the following;
• Designing and executing a calendar of DEI-related activities, events, and communications
• Supporting ERG Group Leaders with recruitment and management
• Reporting on the success of company-wide and ERG-specific initiatives
Program administrators have access to the administrator space for managing product configuration, moderation, and reporting capabilities. They can also access the group leader dashboard and have access to all groups created for the community.
