At Progress Energy, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusion. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is strategically integrated into the way we do business. Each employee is encouraged to contribute his or her own unique experience and viewpoint. Together, we make the company's future brighter.
It starts with attracting, engaging and retaining the best people who bring the varying perspectives and skills that comprise a high performing workforce. Diversity and inclusion efforts provide opportunities for employees to connect in many other ways. Our diversity councils, ongoing diversity and inclusion workshops, and employee network groups are just a few of the ways we encourage employee involvement and provide opportunity for personal and professional growth.
We also work to extend the benefits of diversity and inclusion to the communities we serve. Our Supplier Diversity Program supports small/diverse businesses by ensuring inclusion in procurement and contract opportunities for the many items we purchase.
