I strongly believe in the value of an inclusive workforce and providing a culture where all voices are heard and valued. It leads to better decision-making, more innovation, and most importantly, a place where employees are excited about coming to work every day.”

The work that WRISE does is extremely important in promoting this type of culture, and as a company, we have a responsibility to do the same. We’ve made significant strides in hiring women at our company—in 2017, 48% of new hires at our headquarters office in Chicago were women—and we look forward to continuing work towards the advancement of women throughout the organization. ”

IWN has been an important part of elevating our company’s culture by providing programming, resources and opportunities for both the women and the men at Invenergy to network and share strategies to help them become stronger employees and managers. IWN has worked to increase awareness about the unique issues that woman face in the workforce.”

At a company level, Invenergy recently held training and workshops on inclusion, unconscious bias and growth mindset as another important step. These are ongoing efforts that I’m proud our company is embracing and building upon.”

I am grateful to be part of a company that has not only provided me with tremendous professional growth opportunities, but has also allowed my voice to be heard. I want to make sure every current and future employee has the same opportunities.”
