Hydro One is committed to long-term, meaningful action to combat systemic racism faced by the Black community, people of colour and Indigenous people.

As People Managers, we all have a responsibility in ensuring that everyone on our teams is treated equitably and inclusively every day.

You can help promote racial equality by following these guidelines:

• Look within to examine your own assumptions and behaviours.

• Listen and learn.

• If you hear something, step up and say something.

• If you’re white, leverage your white privilege. If you’re unfamiliar with this term, a definition is provided in the glossary below.

• Be intentional in your words and actions.

For your use in meetings and conversations with your teams, we have included useful documents below with key messages on anti-racism; an anti-racism glossary; a document on frequently asked questions and answers as well as suggested resources.

More than 6,000 of you participated in the myExperience survey, one of many critical listening tools to drive meaningful change as we collectively create a safe and inclusive workplace where we feel heard, valued and a true sense of belonging.

To those who participated in the survey, thank you for making your voice heard. This is a great company with a remarkable legacy, and through efforts like yours we will continue building a team ready for the future.

As you heard during our All-Team Webcast in November, our results have increased across all key focus areas.

What’s next?

This month, as part of Hydro One’s efforts to continuously improve, your leader will share your team’s results and engage in meaningful conversations to determine focus areas for 2023.

In 2023, teams in Operations will concentrate on Customer Focus and have meaningful conversations and take action to use customer feedback to improve the way we work.
