Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Inclusive Workplace
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council
Our DE&I Council is a cross-functional team comprised of executive sponsors, Business Resource Group leaders and other key stakeholders.
The council helps approve, advise on and set the strategy to help drive activities that support our corporate and DE&I goals and metrics.
Business Resource Groups (BRGs)
Our BRGs are voluntary, employee-led communities that organize around a particular dimension of diversity or identity.
Our BRGs embrace individual and collective diversity, contribute to our employees' personal and professional development and offer the opportunity for our employees to connect with each other.
They also offer a safe space where people of similar backgrounds
can gather to discuss issues impacting their communities and create awareness
on how Eversource and allies can better support them.
Diversity in Action
Driving a DE&I strategy requires intentional effort, continued diligence, and respectful partnerships. In 2023, we ramped up our DE&I in Action initiative, a communication series aimed at increasing transparency and employee understanding of the impact of DE&I at Eversource.
In this series, we highlight employees who lead by example and “walk the talk” when it comes to exemplifying DE&I in the workplace and community. The following employees are a few of our many colleagues who exemplify the core values of DE&I through their actions at work and home.
Racial Equity Strategy
We have made significant progress on our journey to drive meaningful, positive change in our workplace by addressing racial equity and social justice. We have taken various steps to promote education, dialogue and action related to diversity, equity and inclusion in our organization.
- Our Racial Equity Task Force identifies challenges and develops solutions for creating greater equity in talent management, increased support of our under-served communities, and creating a more inclusive workplace culture.
- We’ve held continual education, dialogue and action planning sessions throughout leadership and business teams.
- Our self-service intranet hub provides information and updates on racial and social justice along with a toolkit of resources and support materials for leaders and employees.
- We’ve hosted learning events throughout the year to celebrate the histories and contributions of under-represented groups and communities.
- Our DE&I/Multicultural BRG Book Club meets monthly, with the goal of fostering a culture of greater respect, inclusion, and understanding for diverse and under-represented groups.
- We’ve increased focus on racial equity and social justice through our community support events and initiatives.
DE&I is a Core Value Throughout Our Business
