Improving Diversity of our Workforce and Leadership

A diverse workforce and leadership team offers various backgrounds and perspectives that allow us to be more innovative and mindful in how we create strategies and solutions to serve our customers and communities.

Attracting the Best Talent

To deliver reliable products and services that meet community needs, we depend on a skilled and diverse workforce. Our key partners in this effort are four-year colleges, community colleges and local and professional organizations that provide future talent with the skills needed to serve our customers, provide reliable electricity and support our net-zero carbon future.

Our people make us great and we look for the most qualified talent to bring expertise and different perspectives to our work.

Advancing & Supporting Diverse Leaders

Diverse leadership at the table when setting strategies and creating solutions is stronger when diverse perspectives are represented. A foundation for creating a strong pipeline of diverse leaders includes creating career paths for advancement, exposure to leadership, and active mentorship and sponsorship.

It is important for our employees to feel they have an opportunity to advance to their highest potential.
