Diversity Metrics: Ethnicity & Race

American Water knows that diversity across our company will create stronger teams, better ideas, innovative ways of doing our work, long-term sustainability and ultimately an organization that provides the best service to our customers. Since 2017, we have had a focused ID&E recruitment strategy with annual goals to improve diversity across the company. Our employee business resource groups also maintain a focus on attracting diverse talent to our company.   

We leverage our ID&E Executive Council, a robust employee referral program and ID&E Champion network to identify diverse talent during the recruitment process. We also engage with Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions to increase our diverse talent candidate pool.
