• InDays: one day a month, LinkedIn gives you time to focus on yourselves, the company, and the world. InDay is the common thread linking our global culture, bringing together communities from around the world for a common purpose: to invest, inspire and innovate.

• Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): voluntary, employee-led groups sponsored by LinkedIn. ERGs work directly with the Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (DIBs) Team to focus on our three organizational pillars: Hire & Grow, Invest and Culture.
