PROGRESS ENERGY ON DIVERSITY
Our vision Is created from many views.
Diversity at Progress Energy is more than a way to profitability. It's a way of life. Beyond simply hiring the best people into the right jobs – regardless of race, sex or creed – we have taken the goals of diversity many steps farther. In fact, few companies can match our ability to blend unique knowledge, individual interpretations, singular experiences and personal points of view across a broad workforce. Our diversity energizes our thinking, making us more flexible. It is the fuel that sparks true innovation and opens the door to new ideas. We believe in developing in our people the power to embrace and ultimately leverage their differences to attain heights impossible to reach individually.
