Playful Work Design for Employee Resource Groups

Strategic workshops and tools that transform ERGs into powerful drivers of belonging, engagement, and leadership development.

Employee Resource Group leaders sit at the center of today’s most important workplace conversations: community, mental health, retention, and culture.

Yet most ERG leaders are volunteers expected to drive meaningful change with limited support.

BoredLess equips ERGs with science-backed strategies rooted in play, flow, and psychological safety—helping leaders build energy, connection, and credibility across their organizations.

Through engaging workshops, keynotes, and practical tools, ERGs gain the skills to lead conversations, strengthen culture, and sustain impact.

What People are Saying: Acey's Permission to Play workshop was even better than I imagined. It was a great introduction to how play can benefit both our work and our brains. I especially enjoyed the practical strategies we could apply right away to bring a playful approach to common situations. This was an engaging hour of learning and fun that had something for attendees at every level of our company, and I'm proud that our ERG was able to present this event.
