Diversity and inclusion takes a front seat at Ameren, one of Fair360, formerly DiversityInc’s Top 5 Regional Utilitiesin 2012. The philosophy that an organization’s greatest asset is its people is one value that President, CEO and Chairman Tom Voss touts stronglyand for good reason. Employee ideas have been a primary driver of innovation and market success.
Voss visibly and proactively has sought to build an inclusive environment where workers are encouraged to share their ideas openly. His efforts at holding executives accountable for diversity and inclusion results have sparked a cultural transformation that’s contributing to increased revenue and an improving stock price.
Voss shares with Fair360, formerly DiversityInc CEO Luke Visconti his viewpoints on the importance of employee input, the need for accountable and proactive leadership to generate buy-in for diversity and inclusion, and why successful succession planning should go beyond if “someone gets hit by a bus.”
