Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Our ERGs are aligned with Cardinal Health businesses, and help foster an inclusive and engaged workforce. They help develop future leaders, expand marketplace reach and partner with nonprofits through volunteerism and fundraising.

Several of our locations have established Multicultural Councils (MCCs) to keep employees engaged on multiple issues of diversity and inclusion.

MCCs are volunteer, employee-led shared groups that bring different voices together to represent all viewpoints in a business or location. MCCs foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with organizational mission, vision, goals, business practices and objectives. Each MCC has an Executive Sponsor and committee members.

Currently we have three multicultural councils: MCC EMEA, MCC Sherwood and MCC Twinsburg.
