We employ over 4,000 people and as a major employer we have a crucial impact on the economic and social well-being of many communities.

In the US, most workers spend at least half of their waking hours at work. The work environment has a great influence on their quality of life, their family life, and can even affect their health. We recognize that, through promoting training and job experience, we can increase the flexibility and power of our workforce, while at the same time contributing toward the personal growth and fulfilment of our staff.

Just as individuals and communities depend on us for their livelihood, we depend on them for our own success. For us, people make the difference in profitability, productivity and competitive advantage. We consider ourselves as an employer of choice and want to remain so: we must be able to attract and retain committed and talented staff to help us shape our business and take it forward.

We recognize that being an employer of choice requires respect for the talents of all individuals regardless of gender, race, disability, age, religion, color, national origin, veteran status or sexual orientation. Good individuals and teams require an environment in which they can flourish. This means being fair to all in recruitment, promotion, and development of people and capitalizing on the added value that diversity brings. At LG&E Energy we endeavour to provide a workplace where employees feel respected and valued, and are encouraged to reach their full potential.

To this end we have a range of policies and practices in place to support our commitment to employees.
