Our goal is to attract, develop and retain the talent we need to ensure our position as the premier energy infrastructure company in North America. We believe an engaged, enabled and energized workforce equals a healthy and vibrant organization and that nurturing a culture of active listening enables us to know and grow our talent.
We have three leadership principles that serve as the foundation for everything our leaders do: Live the Values, Develop People and Get Results.
Our core values of Integrity, Safety and Respect reflect what is important to us in support of our communities, the environment and each other. They represent a constant guide by which we make decisions as individuals and as a company and how we work best together. Living and working by our values is an accountability of all employees, contractors and leaders.
We invest in our people and build strong teams through Enbridge-wide training and development programs, and through our diversity and inclusion programs and practices. We know that a diverse workforce―made up of talented individuals with differing ideas, strengths, interests, backgrounds and points of view―is a strategic advantage that will help us achieve long-term success. We have a number of internal programs that foster a balanced and inclusive work environment, and we celebrate our differences as a source of innovation, inspiration, collaboration and growth.
We believe that with strong leadership, we can achieve our goals and confidently meet the challenges and opportunities we encounter. We are focused on identifying and closing critical skill and leadership gaps, and continuing to create an environment that fosters an energized and proud team.
Since the close of the combination of Enbridge and Spectra Energy, we have focused on harmonizing policies, programs and benefits with a view to equity and consistency across the combined organization. While a significant amount of this work has been finalized and rolled-out, we will continue to focus on these efforts in 2018 with the objective of completing policy harmonization by January 2019.
