Energizing the Workforce: Planning Equity for 2020
As it is officially 2020, resolutions are being drafted, optimism is at its peak, and offices are being filled with employees who may be overly exhausted from holiday festivities. While it may be an oddly chaotic time for many, this is also a time to set goals for the year. Whether that is personally or professionally, there is no better time than now. As you are thinking about what you want to achieve in this new decade, I highly encourage you to step out of the box and think of resolutions or goals that you may not have considered before today.
One of these goals can be how to better improve equity in your professional space. Whether you are employed by a local government, a utility, a university, a nonprofit, or you are a student exploring the Energy Industry, we can all benefit from choosing to embed equity into professional practices.
