What is the most meaningful part about working at SCE?
The most meaningful part of my SCE career has been the opportunity to lead and facilitate over 100 discussions around race, equity and belonging for our employees. Our leadership team paved the way in 2020 for these rich and robust conversations to take place through our Leading with Courage and Inclusion dialogue sessions. During these discussions, we provided a safe space for employees of all backgrounds to share their professional and personal experiences. I found these conversations both encouraging and inspiring as they gave me a chance to connect with various employees in different areas of our organization. We at SCE strive to provide an environment of psychological safety and trust. We have found the first steps in making this happen is to listen and share respectfully while adhering to our company values.
