The blog challenges the common understanding of "merit-based" systems within Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) work. It acknowledges that a merit-based system intends to award opportunities based on abilities and achievements, ignoring personal connections or background.

In 2026, the most effective ERGs are aligned to organisational priorities, supported by leadership, and positioned to influence decisions, improve systems, and drive lasting change.
