• Safety is our first value. We expect people to participate in a workplace where they are both physically and emotionally safe. As required, the Senior Manager, HR will intervene to ensure all leaders and employees exemplify this value. Our Safety value also means a work environment that promotes robust debate and space to voice dissenting views.

The Senior Manager, HR will evaluate how teams interact and advise leaders and employees to ensure this objective is met.

• All Together is our second value. We expect our people to feel ownership and connection to the projects we develop and operate.

All Together requires people to align to common goals, invest their intellectual and emotional energy, and fully appreciate the impact an individual's performance has on the broader team. The Senior Manager, HR will work with teams to ensure they are staffed with people that hold and exemplify this value. The Senior Manager, HR will develop ways for leaders to drive this value throughout the organization and ensure accountability to this value.

• Higher Standards is our third value. We seek people with a growth mindset who are constantly seeking to innovate - both incremental and step change. This includes optimizing technologies on projects, designing solutions for customers, engaging with communities and creating better and more intuitive business process. Higher Standards is the value that underlies our career development program. We need our employees to share their strengths with others and recognize areas where they could improve. The career development process requires leaders and managers to explicitly articulate what employees need to do differently to do better in their current role and advance to other roles.

Our goal is for all employees to have a career development plan.
