ERN USA National Peer Learning Conference Success

In October 2018, over 65 administrators, success coaches and employers met for the annual USA ERN Peer Learning Conference, hosted by New York ERN. Seven states were represented including New York, Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, and Tennessee. “The ERN conference is valuable to all attendees and their respective employees. It stimulates conversations of best practices. People are people regardless of where they live and work with similar issues. We can share, brainstorm and generate a starting point for solutions." Gwen Pulvirent, employer, New York ERN.

What Are ERNs?

Employer Resource Networks® are private-public consortia whose purpose is improved workforce retention through employee support and training.

The key ERN innovations are:

  • business engagement
  • cross-sector collaboration among employers
  • human services and educators
  • workplace-based employee success coaching (case management)
  • real-time referrals to community resources

ERN stakeholders include:

  • small to mid-sized companies
  • public human services and workforce development
  • private non-profits
  • community colleges and vocational training organizations
  • local, regional and national foundations and United Ways
Why ERNs?

ERNs improve communities in a variety of ways:

  • employers retain an engaged and skilled workforce
  • public agencies and nonprofits get better outcomes from programs that advance economic independence
  • community colleges add students and build closer ties to area businesses

ERNs are a value proposition to all stakeholders. Their outcomes include:

  • employee retention rates of 90-98%
  • contributing employer ROI of 175-330%
