IBM Business Resource Groups (BRG) consist of IBM employees who
voluntarily come together with the ultimate goal of enhancing the success
of IBM’s business and people, by helping their fellow IBMers succeed.
BRGs are asked to ensure programs and initiatives are aligned to
support at least one of the four IBM business and talent workstreams.
BRG Workstreams
1. Recruitment and Hiring
2. Talent Development
3. Employee Retention
4. Business Development
What’s a Business Resource Group (BRG)?
© 2013 IBM Corporation
� Business Resource Groups, Global, Constituency, and Diversity Councils should:
– Align to one or more of the new BRG workstreams as programs are planned by functional owners
– Utilize BRG Connections to facilitate questions, best practice sharing, and collaboration
� In the context of your constituency and business, engage your colleagues and business leaders on the following questions:
– How can our constituencies improve IBM’s ability to compete for talent with the critical skills that are essential for IBM’s success?
– How can our diverse constituencies and employees strengthen IBM’s brand and relationships with our clients?
– How can we work in partnership with our colleagues and leadersto accelerate their development, ensure all IBMers feel welcome,valued and supported to achieve their maximum potential?
– And finally, as the leaders of these BRGs, how will we measure success and what support do you need to make this new model work?
What’s Next?
