Inclusion

Gartner’s Employee Resource Groups

At Gartner, we are committed to cultivating a culture of inclusion for all associates. Our voluntary, associate-driven employee resource groups (ERGs) play an important role in defining our culture, by bringing associates together to create a sense of belonging for all.  

 Gartner has 8 ERGs which are open to all associates. Our ERGs support the associate experience by providing opportunities to connect, educate and celebrate moments that matter. They host events, support leadership development and advance initiatives that support our inclusive culture.  We are thankful to our associates and ERGs for advocating for and helping us ensure that all associates feel a sense of belonging at Gartner. Read on to learn more about our ERGs and about our ERG leaders.

“ERGs are so important in building community and networks, increasing visibility and creating safe spaces to have candid conversations. Having an API ERG makes me feel seen and acknowledged. I feel more comfortable bringing my full, authentic self to work. My hope is that no one will ever feel they’re in this alone." - Nina Moreno, Director, Research

The Collective Abilities Network (CAN)

The Collective Abilities Network (CAN) at Gartner is a globally inclusive community for associates with hidden and apparent disabilities, mental health challenges, neurodiversity, chronic or acute illness, their caregivers and colleagues. Our mission is to provide support, share information and empower associate growth.

“In order to build our ERG community before our launch, the first step was holding a Real Talk for those of us with hidden or apparent disabilities, mental health issues, neurodiversity, and their caregivers and allies. In sharing and hearing the stories from our associates, there was one common theme: relief and joy that none of us are alone!  For everyone who attended, it felt like a big day.  We are an important part of Gartner’s high performing culture.” – Laura Spillane, MVP, Professional Development

“I decided to join at a leadership level because I love being able to connect with other associates outside of my immediate circle to collaborate and celebrate who we are. I am passionate about cultivating a culture of inclusion, so it was natural for me to take a leadership position to support others to do the same thing and further inclusive practices in their region and business unit.” – Angela Louis, Program Manager, Consult the Board

“A large percentage of people that identify as LGBTQ are still not ‘out’ at work even though there has been so much progress made in many parts of the world.  I’ve had the privilege of working for people that allow me to bring my whole and authentic self to work and by co-leading Pride I’ve hoped that my visibility matters to encourage other members of the LGBTQ community to be out and proud at work as well.” – Brian McAlpin, MVP, Pricing
