F
or 13 years, Caitlin Oakley
has found that no matter
what position she holds at
Enbridge Inc., she’s never
alone – she’s always plugged into a
super-charged professional energy
grid of experience and training that
helps lead her to continued success.
“Enbridge believes in me and
keeps giving me these wonderful
opportunities – it’s rewarding to
have multiple careers at the same

“Enbridge cares. The people,
managers, leaders and the
employees all care.
That’s all I can really ask for
from an employer.”

“What really helps is the relationships with your peers because they
have a lot of experience and they’re
always willing to provide you with
guidance, share their knowledge and
help you succeed.”
Enbridge is a diversified energy
company with headquarters in
Calgary. Its 13,400-plus employees
serve the globe by providing it with
energy safely and reliably. The company moves a large share of North
America’s oil and natural gas and is
committed to reducing the emissions
intensity from its operations.
Oakley has learned that safety is
a core company value, one critical to
her position as supervisor, cross bore
safety and records re-survey. She and
her team make sure the company’s
energy delivery lines don’t run
afoul of sewer infrastructure. They
respond to emergency calls from
homeowners and have a proactive
program to look for potential
conflicts before problems arise.
Enbridge’s comprehensive
commitment to safety in the field is
mirrored by how it takes care of its
employees. Melissa Moye, chief human resources and inclusion officer,
says that as a result of experiences
gained during the pandemic, the
company has more support in place
than ever.
“We repositioned our approach to
holistic employee well-being, which
we now define as mental, physical,
social and financial, and we have
increased our benefits and programs
to support that,” she says.
“We want people to feel safe and
that when they come into work
in the office or wherever they’re
working in our operations, they are
heard, validated and valued, and
can contribute, learn and grow every
day.”
As part of that learning,
employees are empowered to try
different work experiences through
Enbridge’s multiple training and
education programs. The company
has a skills and training library
containing over 12,000 learning
resources.
Flexibility is another cornerstone
of Enbridge’s approach to maintaining work-life balance. Hybrid
work models allow many employees
to work remotely or from home,
spending less time in the office.

The results are a corporate culture
where employees feel connected
to the community as well as the
company, says Moye.
“Our industry flows through every
part of global society and the economy, so we bring that perspective to
our business in the communities,
but also internally in our company
culture,” she says.
