SEE our focus on diversity and inclusion
Ameren has built a nationally recognized diversity initiative by fostering an environment of inclusion in which individual perspectives are not just recognized, but valued. Our customers and communities are highly diverse, and our workforce commitment reflects that. DiversityInc CEO Luke Visconti has called ours “a model of an inclusive workplace.”
About 11% of employees, including senior executives, belong to resource groups. These are:
- Ameren Military-Veteran Employees
- Powering Connections for All Abilities
- Ameren Network of Minority Employees
- Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgender Employees & Allies Network
- Multi-Generational Employee Resource Group
- Women Influencing Success in Energy
Each group gives co-workers an opportunity to connect with people who have common interests and backgrounds and enjoy a forum for open discussion of commonalities and differences. Employee resource groups are required to support Ameren’s business goals and objectives, provide community outreach and educate and engage employees as a part of their mission and annual strategic business plan.
Sharon Harvey Davis, VP, Chief Diversity Officer, Ameren, speaks with host Jennifer Blome and Captain Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. To foster community conversations after events in Ferguson, Mo., Ameren took actions including producing an interview series, Discussions Across Differences. The series is designed to increase communication skills and awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion. The materials—which Ameren uses for its own employees—are free to community organizations, businesses and other groups.
