Employee Well-Being & Culture

Employee Well-Being & Culture

Committed to a safe and inclusive workplace where employees can show up as their authentic self

Our people are our greatest asset. We focus on attracting, retaining, and developing the skills and expertise needed to execute our strategy, with a merit-based approach that recognizes and rewards high-performing individuals.

 

Employee Development and Well-Being 

To attract and retain an engaged, high-performing workforce we provide employees with performance and recognition programs, goal setting, personal development and career progression opportunities, and a market-competitive total rewards package.

  • Pembina’s values guide how we work together and are integrated into each employee’s annual performance review which influences their compensation.
  • Development and career progression opportunities include on-the-job training, job rotations, secondments, stretch assignments, individual development plans, and mentorship - helping employees grow their careers while meeting Pembina’s long-term talent needs.
  • To support and measure development and career progression opportunities our annual corporate STIP compensation for eligible employees includes metrics for employee internal mobility and successful completions of our Safety Excellence for Supervisors and Managers (“SEFSAM”) training program for our leaders.
  • Our comprehensive benefits package supports physical, mental, and dental health, along with additional programs, such as paid time off, to help employee maintain their own and their family’s well-being.

Employee Engagement

We actively seek employee feedback to inform our programs and processes. Employee town halls with our executive leadership, team-specific performance and strategy sessions, and our annual engagement survey help us understand what matters to employees and guides our program and process improvement action plans.

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.

Building an inclusive workplace is central to how we live our values and support our people. By fostering a culture that is respectful, collaborative, and psychologically safe, we enable employees to do their best work. Embracing diverse perspectives strengthens decision-making, promotes well-being, and drives long-term value for our company and stakeholders.

Learning & Inclusion

At Pembina, learning is a competitive advantage. When leaders model learning agility, by asking for help or changing course when needed, they create a psychologically safe environment where employees can speak up, challenge assumptions and learn from mistakes. 

Pembina has strengthened its commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) by embedding inclusive practices across our employee programs and initiatives, including leadership development, talent management and learning initiatives, that have impacts across Pembina. We strive to create a safe, respectful, collaborative workplace where all employees have a sense of belonging.

Our learning and inclusion programs include, but are not limited to:

  • Inclusion Networks: Employee-led groups that foster community and belonging for self-identifying members and their allies. Pembina currently has five Inclusion Networks - Indigenous, Multicultural, Men’s Mental Health, Pride, and Women’s Inclusion Network - open to all employees.
  • Acknowledgements: Organization-wide initiatives that celebrate diversity, mark calendar observances, and raise awareness, supported by employee-led planning groups and anchored by our Inclusion Networks. 
  • EDI Foundations Education: Custom learning programs that build awareness of EDI principles and the impacts of exclusion, equipping employees with actionable strategies to foster belonging and advocate for equity. Using Pembina case studies, sessions reinforce our Code of Ethics and Respectful Workplace Policies, promoting ethical behaviour, respect, and psychological safety across all levels of the organization.

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.
