Employee Well-Being & Culture
Committed to a safe and inclusive workplace where employees can show up as their authentic self
Cultivating a positive employee experience and promoting a diverse and inclusive environment where our employees feel a sense of belonging, engaged, recognized and empowered is foundational to our success.
A thriving business requires an engaged, diverse, and innovative workforce. We set ourselves apart by creating a differentiated experience for our employees. Our commitment to delivering excellence for our employees means they say we are the ‘employer of choice’ and value our safe, respectful, collaborative and inclusive work culture. We strive to attract, retain and develop the skills and expertise necessary to execute our strategy, and our talent management approach remains merit-based, focusing on recognizing qualified, high-performing individuals. More specifically, our approach to employee well-being and culture includes:
Employee Development and Well-Being
To attract and retain an engaged workforce, we strive to provide employees with positive experiences, including supporting employee health and well-being through our benefits and wellness programs, providing an above-market total rewards program, supporting personal development and career progression through training, job rotations, stretch assignments, individual development plans, tuition and training reimbursement, and mentorship. Leadership development is emphasized at all levels of our organization, and we pride ourselves in creating a work environment where accountabilities are clear, strong performance is expected, and results are recognized.
Employee Engagement
Listening to our employees enables an inclusive and engaging work environment. We rely on employee feedback to adapt our processes in a manner that helps our people to succeed. We host regular employee town halls with our officers and senior leadership, in addition to team-specific performance and strategy sessions. We routinely conduct engagement surveys to hear directly from our employees on what is going well and opportunities for improvement. We use this feedback to develop strategic action plans to address what is important to our employees and improve their overall experience at Pembina.
Recognition
Recognizing employee contributions and achievements is vital to fostering a positive work environment. This is why we offer various forms of recognition including peer-to-peer recognition, long-service awards and individual performance weighting in our short-term incentive plan. To recognize exemplary employees who live our values, we have the RISE (Recognize Individuals who Show Excellence) awards.
RISE Awards
Advancing Inclusion
Our approach advances Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion ("EDI") through awareness and education to support our understanding of how we can all contribute to a culture of inclusion, including:
- Inclusion Networks are employee-led groups designed to build a sense of workplace community and belonging for diverse employees and their allies by exploring EDI topics and initiatives that matter to them. Inclusion Networks are a key focus in the Culture and Inclusion Strategy and we welcome and encourage all employees to participate.
- Conversations for Change is a company-wide event series featuring panel-style conversations with our employees to explore EDI topics and their impact on the personal and professional lives of our colleagues.
- Acknowledgement Months celebrate the history and cultures of diverse groups and bring awareness and connection to important EDI topics. They are supported by employee led planning groups and anchored by our Conversations for Change panels and Inclusion Networks.
- EDI Foundations Education is a custom-built education program to support foundational understanding of EDI core concepts, build understanding of the impact of exclusion in the workplace, and support employees with skills and strategies to build allyship and inclusion.

Diversity is what makes us unique, recognizing that we are individuals with a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, abilities and identities.
Inclusion is having a sense of belonging and feeling inspired to be our authentic selves in sharing our differences. Inclusion requires recognizing, respecting, and valuing all the ways we differ and leveraging those differences.
Justice is identifying and eradicating inequitable barriers.
