Diversity and Inclusion at TVA

Our mission statement

TVA’s diversity strategy is to maximize diversity awareness and inclusion to drive superior business results and sustainable competitive advantage.  It is an ongoing process that supports the ethics and business efforts of TVA, which are essential for our success as an organization.

One key to TVA’s success is the extraordinary diversity of its culture—not just in race or gender but also in background, experience and ideas.

Our Strategy:

• To develop a comprehensive approach to inclusion
• To break the barriers that impede change
• To model inclusive behaviors throughout the organization
• To implement mentoring for professional development
• To empower employee resource groups
• To grow TVA’s School-to-Work Program.

TVA works to ensure inclusive staffing through its normal recruiting processes but also by attending focus groups, career fairs, conferences and other networking events that promote diversity hiring.
