Introduction

(SCE, 2013)

Edison International

Edison International was first incorporated in 1909 as, Southern California

Edison Company. After Southern California acquired the assets of Edison

Electric Company; it became known as Southern California Edison until 1996

when it adopted its current name in recognition of its growing business abroad

and in other industry sectors (Edison International, 2016).

Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities. Edison delivers power to 15

million people in 50,000 square-miles across central, coastal and Southern

California, excluding the City of Los Angeles and some other cities. Edison also

invest millions of dollars and lots of volunteer manpower in local non-profits,

and their parent company, Edison International, donates computers to non-

profit organizations and schools (Edison International, 2016).

Diversity MakeupSCE seeks to emulate the diversity of its stakeholders.

Diversity Data Analysis

(SCE, 2016)

Diversity is about respecting, valuing and celebrating our

differences. We express our commitment to work force

diversity through our mission, which states:

Our mission is to make SCE a better company by

continuing to focus on work force representation,

leveraging our individual differences, enhancing the

company’s reputation, and measuring our success in

employee development, recruitment and retention,

community partnership, work environment, and diversity

communication and education (SCE, n.d.).

Our goal at SCE is to create an environment of

excellence and collaboration, where employees feel

their contributions are respected and valued (SCE, n.d.).

religion, color, national origin, sex, age, protected veteran and

individuals with disabilities. This commitment applies at all levels of

Diversity

Recommendations

The African-American employee population should be more reflective of the

community at-large.

Minority representation and women at the executive/senior manager levels

and directorships are under-represented. Minorities represent only 29 percent

of senior management positions and 30% of directorships respectively.

Caucasians and males significantly dominant nearly every employment

category except admin/support workers.

Observations

Recommendations

Increase talent recruitment efforts at the executive/senior manager level.

Increase the representation of women in unskilled or manual labor positions.

Improve opportunities for people with disabilities.
