PROVIDING A WORK ENVIRONMENT OF INCLUSION AND EQUITY
S&C is Powered by Diversity at DISTRIBUTECH S&C continues to advance the DE&I discussion at DISTRIBUTECH International, the leading transmission and distribution event for utilities, technology providers, and industry leaders. At our annual S&C Powered by Diversity event, Anders Sjoelin, our president and CEO, led a discussion with two other leaders in the electrical industry. The panelists noted that building a culture where DE&I is ingrained into everyday work is challenging, but when done with intentionality, the work can significantly improve employee engagement and performance. In addition, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative was awarded the annual S&C Powered by Diversity Award, which honors an electric utility that demonstrates outstanding achievements in diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
We provide learning opportunities that promote an accepting, inclusive environment. In 2024, our Connecting with Others hands-on workshop expanded internationally to our locations in Mexico and Canada. Ninety-two percent of S&C leaders have gone through the training since its first session in 2022. We also regularly evaluate our benefits and resources to ensure that we remain competitive as an employer of choice. To support our efforts, we educate leaders about pay equity and use pay ranges to align skills and performance with compensation. Our status as an ESOP promotes equity by allowing team members to benefit from and see the value of their contributions to the company’s success.
S&C was recognized as a Hire Our Heroes Certified Employer for our newly formed partnership with the Department of Defense SkillBridge program. Through this partnership, we support veterans with long-term, fulfilling careers in manufacturing.
