Southwire Canada is pleased to announce that it has been named as a Great Place to Work® (GPTW) Certified™ organization for the third year in a row. The recertification showcases the company’s commitment to its team members, communities and other stakeholders.

“I am very proud of our Southwire Canada team for achieving this certification for the third consecutive year,” said Tim King, president of Southwire Canada. “This accomplishment speaks to our unwavering dedication to cultivating an inclusive, empowering and dynamic workplace culture. Our team members – The People Behind the Power™ – are fundamental to our success, and this recognition reaffirms our steadfast commitment to their well-being, personal growth and overall happiness.”

Southwire received this recognition after a thorough and independent analysis conducted by GPTW, the world’s leading research and consulting firm dedicated to helping organizations assess and develop their workplaces, cultures and levels of employee engagement.

“We will continue to prioritize the voices of our team members, champion their aspirations and foster an environment where everyone can truly flourish,” said King. “Together, we are building an extraordinary company that not only attracts and retains exceptional talent but also creates a future full of boundless possibilities. I am genuinely thrilled about our journey as we unite as ONE Southwire.”

According to GPTW, trust is the main ingredient in building a great place to work for all, which is why the organization uses the Trust Index© – based on the Great Place to Work Trust Model© – to measure the levels of trust in the workplace according to five key dimensions: Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride and Camaraderie. GPTW uses this framework to define a great workplace as one where employees trust the people they work for, have pride in the work they do and enjoy the people with whom they work.

“Having the honor of being recognized for the third time in a row is all due to our team members, and it demonstrates that the foundation of a great workplace lies primarily in the culture of the organization — more than in the compensation, benefits and other perks,” said Rahila Dhansi, People & Culture manager for Southwire Canada. “Our leaders and team members have worked hard to instill and maintain a culture of trust and engagement. Receiving this certification again demonstrates that we are inclusively marching in the right direction together.”

To transform the electric power industry toward a clean energy future, we’re unlocking the power of our people — developing the best and most diverse talent and providing them with an equitable, healthy workplace that enables everyone to thrive.

At Edison International, we believe that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are foundational for our success. We understand that our ability to safely deliver reliable, affordable and clean energy to our customers depends on a healthy culture in which everyone can do their best work because they are valued for their perspectives and unique differences. Building on momentum from commitments and progress in recent years, we continue to measure impact and refine key programs to further integrate DEI within our company culture and business objectives — recognizing this requires investment and commitment at all levels.

Among our progress and achievements, we:

Developed DEI Action Plans for each Edison International and SCE Organizational Unit (OU) to increase accountability for DEI in all areas of the company and to align and integrate DEI into all OU business goalsExpanded our Talent Development Accelerator program to include a more diverse group of employeesAdvanced diversity in our talent pipeline through our Lineworker Scholarship program and expanded the program to attract a more diverse talent pool

As outlined in Pathway 2045, SCE’s blueprint to helping California achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, decarbonizing the electric sector will provide a remarkable transformation for the environment, the economy and people. However, this clean energy transition will be successful only if we make it equitable for everyone. We believe this transition can create a future with socioeconomic benefits for all, and we are working to ensure that such a transition is just and inclusive. Edison International’s efforts include philanthropy, volunteering, board service, scholarship programs and community partnerships.

We continue to support organizations and initiatives that share our dedication to expanding educational and vocational opportunities and driving growth in economically disadvantaged communities. For example, we partner with GRID Alternatives, a nonprofit that makes renewable energy technology and job training accessible to underrepresented communities. Our recent grants of $225,000 will support clean energy projects throughout SCE’s service area including the Central Valley, Greater Los Angeles and Inland Empire and provide hands-on solar installation experience for local workers.

We are proud to share Edison International’s achievements and progress in this 2022 DEI Report — a true demonstration of the power of our people, coming together to drive real change and deliver meaningful results.
