Glossary of Terms

Getting familiar with these key terms will help you navigate Chezie with confidence.

Teams
A Team represents a program type at your organization — like ERGs, Local Communities, or Interest Groups. Teams help organize groups into categories, making it easy for employees to browse and discover communities that match their interests.

Groups
A Group is an individual employee community that lives within a Team. Think of it as the core unit of Chezie — it's where members connect, events happen, and activity is tracked.

Chapters
A Chapter is a sub-group within a Group, typically organized by region, programming focus, or professional interest. For example, a company-wide ERG might have a Chapter specifically for its EMEA members.

Cycles
A Cycle is a defined period of time used to track budget, goals, and key metrics for a group. Cycles are typically aligned with your organization's fiscal year and help group leaders and admins measure progress over time.

Goals
Goals are the objectives a group sets out to achieve within a Cycle. In Chezie, Goals are connected to events, communications, and budget items — making it easy to see how day-to-day activity ties back to the bigger picture.

Roles

Member
An employee who has opted in to join a particular Group. Members can explore events, receive communications, and engage with their community through Chezie.

Group Admin
A Group Admin is a leader or co-leader of a specific Group. They have the tools to manage members, plan events, handle communications, and track their group's budget and goals.

Team Admin
A Team Admin oversees an entire Team (or program) at the organization level. They have visibility across all Groups within their Team and are responsible for managing the overall health and compliance of the program.
