FOSTERING A CULTURE OF BELONGING

When you join an Emera team, you become part of a journey of curiosity, learning, and sharing of perspectives that inform our values as a group of companies.

We believe that diverse and inclusive teams make us stronger. If you do too, we invite you to bring your fresh points of view and ideas.

FIND YOUR COMMUNITY

Feeling like you belong and being supported to show up as your authentic self is something we strive for. Take our employee resource groups (ERGs). At many Emera companies, you have the opportunity to join our ERGs to help you find a community in your workplace. Mostly run from our corporate headquarters, these groups are open to any employee who wants to participate. Their purpose is to help the business toward its goal of being an equitable, inclusive workplace and to provide employees with a sense of belonging at work.

We currently have nine ERGs, which include employee-led groups for women and gender-diverse employees—specifically focused on trades, IT, corporate, and engineering—an ERG for 2SLGBTQ+ employees, Indigenous employees, employees living with disabilities, and a Black Employee Resource Group. As we continue on our DE&I journey, we look forward to expanding these communities.

DE&I AT EMERA: BUILDING A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE WORKPLACE FOR EVERYONE

Our leadership teams understand that they have an important role to play in creating a supportive workplace. They lead by example and demonstrate our values. Building psychologically safe teams means we can come to work as our authentic selves, and we can speak up and challenge the status quo.

We know that our teams are our biggest strength, and we seek new perspectives. To be innovative, we have to tap into great talent. One of the ways we do this is through the Atlantic Immigration Program. As a participating employer, this can be a route for you to seek your Canadian permanent residency if you are a skilled worker or international graduate from a Canadian institution.

When you fill out your application, we encourage you to complete our Self-Identification Survey. We set a high bar in our DE&I strategy, and you can help us by informing the statistics about who is applying and let us know if we are missing out on talent in specific communities. We are always looking for feedback and opportunities to remove barriers. We strive to provide a fair and equitable hiring and employee experience.

LISTENING TO & SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES

We're always listening to better understand how the needs of our communities are evolving and how we can support our teams in the work they do outside their professional life. After all, we want you to feel comfortable in bringing your whole self to work.

We offer volunteer hours and fundraising matching through our Good Neighbour Program. We're proud that our teams are recognized as leaders when it comes to community giving, and partner with community organizations where we live and work.
