My new colleagues pointed me towards this network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince then, I&#8217;ve seen the group grow and accomplish lots of things. For example, we set up activities for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, where people go out and volunteer. We also work with the non-profit youth organization Junior Achievement to bring disadvantaged students into the ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ office and give them an introduction to what it might be like to have a career as a consultant. When I was that age, I didn\u2019t know anything about careers like that, so to give them that insight is really rewarding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-card-text-pic wrapperCardTextPic hero-bg-shape\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-card-text-pic-right\"><div class=\"row card-text-pic rightCard\"><div class=\"col-md-12\"><div class=\"box--section\"><div class=\"box  row-nobleed\"><div class=\"col-lg-8 col-md-12 box-inner\"><p class=\"box-text\" data-maxlength=\"600\">Ernest believes that the aim is to empower leaders right across the organization and share awareness of our culture. &#8220;The end goal is to promote diversity, helping to advance diverse talent within the company and attract diverse talent to the company.\u201d And for Ernest, a vital aspect of a successful employee network is that it involves a wide range of people, at different stages of their careers.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"col-lg-5 col-md-12 box-img-wrapper\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=70 1x, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=70 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 1500px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=500&amp;quality=70 1x, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=70 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=768&amp;quality=70 1x, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=768&amp;quality=70 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=556&amp;quality=70 1x, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg?w=556&amp;quality=70 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 0)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½_Inside-Stories_ERG_network-connections_jnr-achievement.jpg\" class=\"box-img-without-hover\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:37% 55.00000000000001%\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-group undefined section section--article-content\"><div class=\"article-main-content\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-11 col-lg-10 offset-md-1 offset-lg-1\"><div class=\"article-text article-quote-text\">\n<p>\u201cIn AABPT, there are people who have just joined the company, but there are also senior vice presidents who are a part of it too.
