Powering Success: Explore How NRG's Unique Company Culture Drives Innovation - Seite 2

"How can we make this combination something that translates into 1 + 1 = 3? We need people thinking about new things, and thinking about things in different ways. We don't know everything, and not being afraid of discovery is important."

Staying in the present while simultaneously looking ahead is a balance, one that benefits from the freedom to explore outside the box.

Many perspectives, one goal

Thinking about things in different ways comes more easily when the workplace is as diverse as NRG's is, and our diversity is ever-growing. The differences in background and experience across our organization give us the ability to continually solve complex problems better. For Bruce, this is apparent in everyday collaboration with colleagues:

"When I walk around the company and work with different teams, I see a similar level of diversity. It really instills a sense of pride for me that, as a company as large as we are, we've done the right things to create the diverse workforce that we've got.

"Diversity of skin color, of religious belief, of experience, of thought, of life experiences… It's all important for coming up with the right answer for our customers, our shareholders, and our employees at large."

It is by virtue of our diversity that, not only are we a better company today, but we're collectively powering a safer, smarter, more sustainable tomorrow.

Future-forward energy

Now, we find ourselves at one of the most critical junctures of our corporate history, and the drive to achieve has never been higher. As a first generation Korean American, Bruce himself is no stranger to hard work and perseverance; his first job after graduating from Columbia University with a degree in history was on Wall Street, where he worked as an investment banking analyst 80-100 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for over 11 years. That grinding work ethic is a product of his upbringing.

"There was this faith that my parents had, that what they were doing and all of the hardship they were incurring at the time was all going to pay off… I've always had that ethos, to believe in the faith my parents had in me, the faith that I was going to be successful in life. It's something I reinforce in myself."

It's also something he reinforces in NRG - faith in a future elevated by the bold vision of the brightest innovators pushing the energy industry forward. Our strong shared purpose - to power a brighter future, together - combined with our commitment to never stop improving is cultivating a unique culture where everyone is empowered to do work that truly matters.
