Diversity, Equity,
& Inclusion

A Fair, Equitable and Welcoming Culture

Our goal is to build a culture where diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental values throughout the workplace environment. This extends beyond our internal practices to our suppliers and throughout Centuri Group – from hiring practices to listening sessions with current employees, from organizing employee conduct training to ensuring cultural competency of management – all of it culminates in our values-driven culture.

In addition to our emphasis on creating a workplace where every employee feels a sense of respect and belonging, we are deliberate in our efforts to work with local and diverse suppliers across our operations, as well as participate in organizations to listen, learn, and enhance our diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

EMPLOYEES

Guided by our values and unwavering commitment to serve as long-term partners to customers and communities, Centuri’s more than 10,500 employees are the lifeblood of our organization. We recognize the value in a workforce rich with diversity, and we strive to create a welcoming culture that equally values the unique backgrounds, perspectives, and abilities of our employees.

Our inclusive, collaborative and values-driven culture allows us to attract, retain and develop a best-in-class workforce.

PEOPLE MATTER MOST

We put people first with our commitment to build a company-wide culture where diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental values in the everyday business practices throughout our family of companies. We envision a workplace that is diverse and welcoming to all individuals that is supported by a framework demonstrating our commitment to these values through actions and not just words.

Our efforts are founded on engaging employees, listening and learning. Through one-on-one listening sessions with individuals representing the diversity of our workforce and an all-employee culture survey, the perceptions we gather guide the ongoing conversations and training necessary to help break down biases and ensure that every employee feels a genuine sense of belonging. To champion these actions, a Diversity Council is in development for the purpose of soliciting this feedback and prioritizing our focus of DEI activities and communications.

Giving employees support structures and opportunities to connect is essential. We do this in part through our Diversity Council and Employee Resource Groups, which help support employees’ personal and professional goals, while also providing an opportunity to celebrate the unique and diverse characteristics that are the fabric of our best-in-class workforce at Centuri.

Centuri’s enterprise mobile app and web-based platform allows all employees to connect with company news, information, and each other, while giving leaders an opportunity to listen and engage in a modern and welcoming format. Together as One Team, our 10,500 employees are better equipped to work together fulfilling our mission to serve as a long-term strategic partner with regulated utilities to build and maintain the energy network that powers millions of homes and businesses across the U.S. and Canada.

Employees Supporting Each Other –
Centuri’s Employee Care Fund

Centuri’s Employee Care Fund helps employees who are suffering financial hardship due to unpredictable circumstances that impact their ability to afford basic living expenses. The Fund is supported by employee donations and administered by a third-party 501(c)(3) charitable organization who evaluates applications for assistance and pays out directly to service providers on behalf of eligible employees. Approved assistance is granted as a gift that does not have to be repaid. Over $83,000 was provided to help employees and their families in 2019 alone.

Employees can visit www.NextCenturi.com/ECF to apply for assistance or make a donation.
