A Diversity Story: Nationwide, women make up about 5 percent of all utility power plant managers. Two of LCRA’s three power plant managers are women. Meet Debbie Powell and Jane Luedecke.
Diversity is about everything that makes us unique… everything we bring to work every day from personality styles to work-life issues.
LCRA has developed a comprehensive process designed to foster an inclusive environment that recognizes and values every employee. LCRA’s diversity foundation value is built on the belief that all employees should be able to enjoy a workplace where they can do their job to the best of their ability
This represents much more than a program or a one-time training event – it is a long-term organizational enhancement effort linked to LCRA’s key business strategies.
Our vision for an inclusive workplace allows us to:
Cultivate a culture of inclusion in which the contributions of every individual are recognized and valued.
Enhance our pool of ideas, business resources and methods.
Provide better service to customers and communities and develop an organization with a reputation for being fair and inclusive.
Benefit from a broader vendor and supplier base that includes small and historically underutilized businesses .
Seek out and attract a strong, diverse pool of candidates by participating in job fairs and sponsoring community and professional organizations.
Engage employees by creating opportunities to get involved in community service activities and by offering comprehensive work-life programs and services.
