Diversity & Inclusion
At Integrys Energy Group, we view diversity and inclusion as a business imperative for a successful future. We believe every individual's unique characteristics and capabilities can be developed to the fullest potential. And we know this leads to success for all Integrys employees, our customers, and our shareholders.
Attitude
Diversity is an attitude that values and respects all the ways people are different. Maybe someone's unique because of race. Maybe because of gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, beliefs, financial status, geographic origin, education, personality, ideas or thoughts. Maybe it's because of something we haven't even thought of yet. But he or she is singular, causes Integrys to think of things in new ways, and keeps us open to possibilities and the unexpected.
Environment
Inclusion is an environment where everyone demonstrates, every day, respect for others' uniqueness. All of us have the right to share. All of us have equal opportunity to grow and achieve the most we can. All of us need to feel appreciation for a job well done. Following rules about discrimination is something every company must do. Creating surroundings that take the next step toward valuing every individual is something we do.
Actions
Words are meaningless without actions. Integrys is continually bringing our vision of diversity and inclusion to life. Our Integrys Diversity & Inclusion Network turns the company's dedication into visible activity. It educates our leaders, engages our employees, inspires individuals' pride and belonging through fun, information and events. It champions the cause of diversity and inclusion as a business imperative for a successful future.
Here are examples of our actions:
- Making community involvement a priority in all the communities we serve
- Focusing on supplier diversity
- Expanding our talent pool by recruiting all qualified individuals
- Building relationships with local and national organizations dedicated to diversity
- Using fair and consistent practices in the workplace
- Celebrating the diverse heritages of our employees through a company-wide International Heritage Week
