Our goal is to create an environment that is inclusive, drawing upon the
strength of our diverse work force to exceed expectations of our customers,
business partners and shareholders. To meet that goal, AEP has adopted a series
of diversity initiatives under the theme “Everyone Counts” in an effort to create an environment
where all employees feel free to do their best work on behalf of the company.
Our work force diversity initiatives include special diversity education programs for
all employees and managers, a dedicated diversity website on our intranet, an employee
diversity council and regional committees, and various diversity-related events and activities.
In addition, the company offers a number of work/life policies and programs designed
to attract and retain a diverse group of employees. These programs include casual business attire,
childcare assistance, financial planning, educational assistance and wellness programs,
among others.
