Sarah Davis, Vice President – Head of Environmental at LVI Associates, shares insights into the increasing diversity landscape within the energy & infrastructure industry: “In general, the candidate pool in the energy and infrastructure industry is becoming more diverse, but there’s still an overall lack of diverse talent to choose from. As well as sourcing candidates with a wide range of backgrounds and characteristics from our network, I also work with clients to help them understand how they can better attract and retain their diverse employees by giving them feedback we get from candidates. “For example, I recently had a female candidate that received two offers through me, and one of them had a diverse leadership team with a couple of women in senior director level roles, and the other had none. She told me how important it was for her to have women in leadership, so took the offer with the more diverse firm.” |
