At Edison Smart, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) are not just buzzwords, they are the foundation of innovation, collaboration, and growth. That’s why we are proud to launch our new initiative, Smarter Together, which champions a culture where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.
What is Smarter Together?
Smarter Together is Edison Smart’s comprehensive DE&I initiative designed to create a workplace that reflects the world we live in. We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of their background, can thrive. Smarter Together isn’t just about increasing diversity numbers – it’s about cultivating a genuine culture of inclusion that drives our collective success.
Our Vision
At the core of Smarter Together is the belief that diverse perspectives lead to smarter solutions. By embracing and celebrating differences in race, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and background, we build stronger teams, create more innovative solutions, and drive better business results.
Key Pillars of Smarter Together
- Diversity in Hiring
We are committed to ensuring diversity at every level of our organization. Through inclusive hiring practices, we aim to attract and retain a workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve. Our bias-free recruitment strategies ensure that talent from all walks of life has an equal opportunity to succeed at Edison Smart. - Equity in Opportunities
Smarter Together is about more than just representation—it’s about making sure every employee has equal access to career growth and development opportunities. We are dedicated to eliminating systemic barriers that may prevent marginalized groups from advancing within our organization. - Inclusive Work Environment
We know that fostering a sense of belonging is crucial to our employees’ well-being and performance. Smarter Together promotes an environment where all voices are heard and valued. This includes creating safe spaces for discussion, providing unconscious bias training, and cultivating inclusive leadership practices. - Education and Awareness
Ongoing education is a key component of Smarter Together. We provide regular training on DE&I topics to ensure that all team members understand the importance of inclusion. From unconscious bias training to workshops on cultural competency, we are equipping our teams with the knowledge they need to build a more inclusive workplace. - Community Engagement
Smarter Together extends beyond the walls of Edison Smart. We are committed to being a positive force in the communities we serve by supporting diversity-focused initiatives, partnering with minority-owned businesses, and contributing to social equity programs.
Smarter Together in Action
- Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): We encourage our employees to join or form ERGs that focus on promoting diversity, fostering connections, and creating spaces for underrepresented groups to share their experiences and insights.
- Inclusive Leadership Training: Leaders at Edison Smart are undergoing comprehensive training to ensure they are equipped to manage diverse teams and promote a culture of inclusion at all levels of the company.
- Annual DE&I Refresher: We will create an annual refresher to bring employees to discuss best practices in DE&I and share ideas on how to create a more inclusive workplace.

A diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s smart business. Studies show that companies with diverse workforces are more innovative, adaptable, and profitable.
