We believe that commitments to diversity are empty unless practiced
at the top of and across the company. Therefore, Sempra Energy commits
to consistently meet or exceed the national average for workforce diversity.
Fifty percent of our workforce and 31 percent of our
managers are African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans.
Sempra Energy takes affirmative action to attain and retain
diverse representation in our workplace that compares to the available
marketplace. We foster a work environment that shows fairness and equity
in selection, compensation, and personal training, development policies
and opportunities. We've even designed our benefits program to address
the diverse needs of our employees, offering a "cafeteria-style" approach
that allows employees to select from a combination of benefits to best
suit their needs.
We successfully marshal the unique skills, distinct
talents and divergent perspectives of our employees to create a company
that is innovative, responsive and flexible, as well as competitive.
