Meena wants to create a workspace for the Employee Resource Groups. What level of access is recommended for this workspace?

Creating a workspace for Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) involves considering the audience and the sensitive nature of the information shared within. Recommended access that requires a request allows for a controlled environment where participation can be limited to those who genuinely need to be involved. This helps maintain privacy and ensures that sensitive discussions are kept within a designated group of individuals who are interested and committed.

By granting access by request, Meena can screen participants to ensure that they are genuinely interested in the topics being discussed and that they belong to relevant groups within the organization. This approach fosters a sense of community among members and maintains the integrity and confidentiality of the discussions and resources shared in the workspace.

Providing unrestricted access to everyone, or having open access, could lead to potential issues such as sharing of sensitive information outside the intended groups, which is not ideal for ERGs that often discuss personal and sensitive experiences. Likewise, limiting access solely to HR leaders does not optimize collaboration and can exclude valuable perspectives from other members.
