Find Your Community at Alcon

Across Alcon, we want every associate to feel welcomed, included, and supported in an environment where you can unleash your full potential. One way to build your community is through impactful connections. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) foster networking opportunities that connect you with your Alcon community. As a new associate, we encourage you to learn about all our ERGs and explore joining as many as you’d like.

What is an Employee Resource Group (ERG)?
ERGs are communities of Alcon associates who come together through shared interests, backgrounds and/or experiences. These groups are designed to have real business impacts while developing members’ networks and professional skills and promoting Alcon’s vision, goals, and values. Many of our ERGs have multiple chapters located in the U.S. and internationally.

What do ERGs do?
ERGs lead programming and events to help increase understanding of — and celebrate — our differences and what unites us all. They support associate career growth and development while offering opportunities for
networking and community outreach. 

Who can join an ERG?
All Alcon associates are welcome to join any or all ERGs. You can be as involved as you want to be — from attending an event from time to time to being part of the team that plans and produces a variety of ERG programming. There’s a place for everyone.

What ERGs are available to join at Alcon? 
Depending on your location, every country has different ERG options to join with more than a dozen ERGs and over 50 ERG chapters around the world. As an ERG member, you will have the opportunity to connect and network with colleagues, support our business and our communities, grow and develop professionally, and actively champion inclusion to ensure we all see each other brilliantly.
