Why Connection Communities
Belonging isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a business strategy.
The data is clear — when employees belong, they engage. When they engage, they stay.
40%
More likely to feel belonging as an ERG member vs. non-member
ERG members report significantly stronger connection, authenticity, and commitment to their organization.
56%
Increase in job performance from high levels of belonging
Belonging doesn’t just retain people — it unlocks their full potential at work.
50%
Drop in turnover risk from high levels of belonging
When employees feel they belong, they stay — and your organization saves millions in replacement costs.
$52M+
Recorded annual savings for a 10,000-person company investing in belonging
The ROI of belonging is measurable — and the cost of ignoring it is even more so.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Employee Resource Group software?
Connection Communities is a dedicated platform for building and running employee resource group programs at scale. It centralizes, manages, and measures every ERG in one hub — streamlining sign-ups, organizing events, enabling communications, and reporting on community impact — replacing the spreadsheets and manual coordination most programs start with.
- What should enterprises look for in ERG software?
Five things matter most at enterprise scale: a centralized hub that standardizes the experience across every ERG, built-in communication and event tools that keep members engaged, reporting that ties community activity to business outcomes like retention and belonging, integrations with your HRIS and collaboration tools, and enterprise-grade security.
- Does Connection Communities integrate with Microsoft Teams, Slack, and HR systems?
Yes. The Connection Communities platform connects with the tools your people already use — including Microsoft Teams, Slack, calendar platforms, and HRIS systems like Workday, ADP, and SuccessFactors — so ERG activity happens in the flow of work rather than in another silo. Customers can also enable Single Sign-On (SSO) so employees access Connection Communities with their existing corporate credentials — no separate password required
- How do you measure the ROI of Connection Communities?
Most organizations are already running ERGs — but without a dedicated platform, they’re doing it across spreadsheets, email chains, and shared drives. The ROI of Connection Communities is the cost of that: the hours ERG leaders and program admins spend on manual membership tracking, event coordination, and one-off leadership reports instead of their actual mission. Research consistently shows ERG leader burnout is driven more by administrative burden than by the work itself.
Connection Communities replaces that manual work with automated enrollment, centralized event scheduling, built-in communications, and a budgeting tool that overlays spend against community activity — so for the first time, ERG leaders have a report they can put in front of an executive sponsor that demonstrates the return on their investment. That visibility is what keeps ERGs funded and growing.
- How much does Connection Communities software cost?
Connection Communities is typically priced as an annual subscription with subscription tiers for organizations of different sizes. Schedule a call with our team for pricing for your organization.
