Employee Resource Groups
Fostering a culture of inclusivity isn’t just about the way we live our values every day — it’s also about creating processes, systems and practices that help everyone at Matter find a space where they belong and can feel connected. That’s why we launched our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), where people of similar interests, passions and experiences can forge stronger bonds with each other, share resources and create a supportive community here at Matter.
