AEP Recognized as One of America's Best Employers for Diversity
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) was included in Forbes Best Employers for Diversity 2024 list.
俄亥俄州哥倫布市,2024年4月23日 /PRNewswire/--美國電力公司(納斯達克股票代碼:AEP)入選福布斯2024年最佳多元化僱主名單。
The list was developed based on an independent survey from a sample of more than 170,000 U.S.-based employees. Participants were asked to anonymously rate their organizations on criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation equality. Respondents belonging to underrepresented groups also were asked to nominate organizations other than their own. Each company's diversity-related practices, such as employee resource groups and publication of diversity data, were also researched and assessed. The final list ranked the 500 employers that received the most recommendations and demonstrated diversity-related best-practices.
該清單是根據對超過17萬名美國員工進行的一項獨立調查制定的。參與者被要求根據年齡、性別、種族、殘疾和性取向平等等標準對他們的組織進行匿名評級。屬於代表性不足群體的受訪者還被要求提名自己組織以外的組織。還研究和評估了每家公司的多元化相關做法,例如員工資源小組和多元化數據的發佈。最終名單對獲得最多推薦並展示了多元化相關最佳實踐的500家僱主進行了排名。
"AEP is proud to be recognized for our efforts to create a culture where our employees feel valued and respected," said Phil Ulrich, AEP's chief human resources officer. "We will continue to focus on developing a workforce that is reflective of the communities we serve."
AEP首席人力資源官菲爾·烏爾裏希表示:“AEP爲創造一種讓員工感到被重視和尊重的文化所做的努力獲得認可而感到自豪。”“我們將繼續專注於培養一支能夠反映我們所服務社區的員工隊伍。”
AEP's nine employee resource groups empower employees to engage and lead in a diverse and inclusive work environment. Throughout 2023, the company's employee resource groups hosted several events across AEP locations and have actively participated in various community initiatives. Some of these included getting involved with the Special Olympics, organizing back-to-school drives across five of AEP's operating companies and educating employees on the history of Juneteenth and Black History Month.
AEP 的九個員工資源小組使員工能夠在多元化和包容性的工作環境中參與和領導。整個 2023 年,公司的員工資源小組在 AEP 各地舉辦了多次活動,並積極參與了各種社區活動。其中一些活動包括參與特奧會,在AEP的五家運營公司組織返校活動,以及教育員工了解六月十日和黑人歷史月的歷史。
"I look forward to another successful year as our employees expand their networks across the company, increase their cultural awareness, connect with one another and further develop a sense of community," said Janelle Coleman, vice president, community engagement and inclusion.
社區參與和包容性副總裁珍妮爾·科爾曼說:“我期待着我們的員工在公司範圍內擴大人際網絡,提高他們的文化意識,相互聯繫並進一步培養社區意識,從而取得又一個成功的一年。”
