Bruce Power has once again been named as a top employer for its efforts to promote inclusion across its workforce.
This recognition marks the sixth consecutive year that the company has been included in the list of companies that make a welcoming workforce a priority. The recognition was announced Feb. 25 by Mediacorp Canada Inc., organizer of the annual Canada’s Top 100 Employers project.
Bruce Power continues to expand its programming and practices to promote equality and is proud to be recognized for this ongoing commitment.
“At Bruce Power, inclusion is about creating an environment in which people feel respected, supported, and empowered,” said Karen Smith, Senior Vice-President and Chief Human Resources Officer. “We’re focused on listening, learning, and taking meaningful action so our workplace continues to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.”
A key piece of Bruce Power’s success is its focus on building for the future. This includes partnerships with schools and organizations, such as Ontario Tech University, Skills Ontario and Build a Dream, to raise awareness of STEM opportunities, particularly with the goal of increasing diversity within engineering and skilled trades. Initiatives such as enhancing the diversity of our student development programs are making a meaningful impact.
Bruce Power is also supported by several employee-led groups that are passionate about fostering an inclusive workplace and advancing education and awareness around diversity. These include Gender and Sexuality Alliance, Indigenous Network, North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN), Women’s Forum, Mosaic and Women in Nuclear.
Based on feedback from its Women’s Forum, Bruce Power has also funded scholarships to support careers in early childhood education, helping address the shortage of qualified childcare providers.
