Historically, these employees take on leadership roles and the associated work in addition to their day jobs, putting in extra time, energy, and insight. And despite the tremendous value, visibility and impact to the organization, this work is rarely rewarded financially," Teuila Hanson, chief people officer at LinkedIn, says.Global ERG co-chairs at LinkedIn serve two-year terms and will receive $10,000 at the end of each year of service.

The company has 10 ERGs with 20 global co-chairs and more than 5,000 members and allies. More than 500 leaders will also be recognized in a new non-financial rewards system, the company says. LinkedIn says it realizes there is "no price on the emotional labor and investment of time" ERGs contribute and that $10,000 is a start, in addition to a formal systematized recognition plan.

Each employee group works with an executive sponsor who provides quarterly feedback to managers as part of performance reviews. This is an independent program within LinkedIn for now, the company said when asked if it would expand inside Microsoft.
