Employee Resource Groups

Southwire’s ERGs are catalysts for connection, growth and positive change. While these teams focus on bringing awareness around specific groups, ALL team members are welcome to be a part of each ERG. They enable our team members to support one another, advocate for causes they care about and lead with our values of empowerment, trust, consistency and inclusion.

Southwire Named as a Top 10 Enterprise-Wide ERG Recipient and on the Top 25 ERGs list for the Diversity Impact Awards

Launched in 2020, the Diversity Impact Awards represent the next iteration of the ERG & Council Honors Award™, the first and longest-running, nationally recognized award to honor the outstanding contributions and achievements of ERGs, BRGs and Diversity Councils.
