ERGs

"When I started at Mercury, I was not a caregiver (parent) and had no idea the level of support that came with the title until I became a caregiver over a year ago. This ERG has been crucial for finding support from the logistics of coming back to work to creating a safe community where we can ask questions and share concerns in a judgment free zone."

Hailey Davis, Onboarding | Caregivers ERG Lead

As a member of the Pride ERG and a Lead for the SOMOS Hispanic and Latiné ERG, I’ve had ample opportunity to observe how commited Mercury is to supporting its employees belonging to marginalized groups. More importantly, I’ve had  first-hand experience with Mercury’s openness to welcoming new ideas that help create an environment that is actively inclusive.

It has been fascinating to watch Mercury grow into its DEIB initiatives, taking cues and actioning change directly from feedback given by the team. Leadership has created a culture of transparency, where feedback and pushback specific to DEIB and inclusion are welcomed and respected. As both a Latino and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, knowing that I can speak candidly about my concerns pertaining to my communities - and that these concerns will be actively heard - is paramount to both my comfort and my sense of belonging.
