Diversity and Inclusion
An inclusive work environment is one where all employees, regardless of their differences, feel welcomed, valued, respected and engaged. Our strategy is to:
- Meet the requirements of our business with people representative of communities we serve and the demographics of the marketplace.
- Develop and sustain relationships with diverse suppliers, including women and minority-owned businesses, to broaden access to products and services and provide economic inclusion.
- Form partnerships to ensure the growth and vitality of the diverse communities we serve and in which we work and live and create business alliances.
In 2013, we were named the Top Regional Utility for Diversity and one of the Top 10 Companies for Blacks by DiversityInc.
Top Military Friendly Employer
It takes strong leadership, teamwork, and dedication to serve. These qualities, along with a commitment to our customers and an emphasis on inclusion, earned us recognition in 2013 as the top-ranked utility in the Top 100 Military-Friendly Employers rankings compiled by GI Jobs magazine; the top-ranked electric utility in the "Best for Vets" rankings compiled by Military Times EDGE magazine; and the top-ranked energy company in the Most Valuable Employers for Military rankings compiled by CivilianJobs.com.
The recognition is earned by providing an active-duty benefits package for reservists and their families, special events and functions honoring veterans, and active affinity groups for employees.
