recognizes that these processes are merely the foundation for safety and that the individual decisions made by employees and contractors each day will ultimately determine success in this vital area. SaskEnergy also recognizes the importance of engaged employees to a successful organization. Through initiatives like the Leadership Network and Leadership Development Program, as well as all-employee meetings and various training and development opportunities, the Corporation has made positive strides in developing leadership skills at all levels and, by extension, overall employee engagement has improved. Given the competitive nature of the Saskatchewan job market, this will remain a key focus in coming years. SaskEnergy sees workforce diversity as a key business success measure, in line with Crown Sector Priorities, and strives to be reflective of Saskatchewan’s population by providing equal opportunity to qualified people, recognizing First Nations, Métis and youth represent a large portion of Saskatchewan’s future labour force.
