Deni Miller, ABB The Americas – Diversity and Inclusion

The power industry’s labor shortage doesn’t discriminate — manufacturers, distributors, and utilities are all feeling the squeeze. ABB is tackling it by looking through a different lens: diversity and inclusion.

Deni Miller of ABB explains how the company partners with NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers) and SWE (Society of Women Engineers) to bring non-traditional workers into the power sector. The conversation covers why D&I is not just a moral imperative but a strategic advantage for an industry struggling to attract and retain talent.

• Labor shortages span every sector: manufacturing, distribution, OEM, and utilities
• ABB actively recruits through NSBE and SWE to build a diverse talent pipeline
• D&I initiatives target non-traditional workers who might not otherwise consider power careers
• Retention is the second half of the equation: ABB is focused on keeping talent, not just finding it
