Employee Business Resource Groups

Our seven Employee Business Resource Groups (EBRGs) are incredibly important to us because inclusion and belonging are critical components of our People First culture. For that reason, we offer our team members the opportunity to join a variety of EBRGs. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, work experience and more, we offer groups that serve Black, veteran, LGBTQ+ and disability communities, to name a few. Our full list of EBRGs is below.

How you feel at work matters

We’re focused on building an inclusive culture where you feel a sense of belonging and can make a real difference in people’s lives. A culture where you feel valued, included and cared for. Our seven EBRGs help create a space where you can be your unique self. They allow you to connect with other team members by sharing experiences, networking and joining a community that embraces individuality, and are just one way we are helping people like you feel right at home.

Creating awareness about Autism

Recently, our Oshkosh Corporation Abilities Network (OCAN) EBRG hosted our first ever in-person and virtual autism awareness event, Autism: Always Unique. Oshkosh team members had the opportunity to learn more about autism awareness and what it’s like to live and work with autism. This event was planned entirely by our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion intern, Jarod Falk, who is on the spectrum himself. We are so proud of Jarod for organizing this event and spreading awareness throughout our organization to help eliminate disability-related stigmas and barriers. Thank you for making a difference, Jarod!

Demonstrating we belong

Recently, our Oshkosh Corporation Pride and Equality Network EBRG made a debut appearance in the Milwaukee PRIDE Parade during Pride month. Team members and their loved ones had a great time walking together to show Oshkosh supporting the LGBTQ+ community, living our core values and making a difference in the community. This was the first public appearance for Oshkosh and the team is excited to continue to spread awareness and demonstrate to our communities that we all belong.

The importance of body language

Recently, our Young Professionals Network and Culture Connect 360 Network co-hosted an event focused on the importance of body language which featured guest speaker, Kristin Bock, Certified Body Language Speaker, Trainer and founder of Body Language Blueprints. Oshkosh team members learned subtle yet impactful techniques to demonstrate warmth and competence when connecting with others. As a key takeaway, team members were encouraged to reflect upon what actions they could take to make others feel seen and heard.
