About Lynnette Heath
Lynnette Heath, Executive Vice President and Chief HR Officer at nVent Electric, has spoken publicly about her role as ESG people pillar executive sponsor and the company’s environmental, social, and governance initiatives. In podcast and webinar appearances in December 2023 and December 2024, she discussed nVent’s approach to performance reviews, employee development, and diversity goals. She stated that the company established representation goals for gender and U.S. racial diversity in management, and that it has improved its representation. She also noted that nVent had no employee resource groups five years ago and now has nine with over a thousand members globally. Heath said that if people leaders do not complete a people-leader goal, they cannot receive an overall rating above “meeting expectations,” which affects their bonus and merit increase. She described the company’s culture as “results with caring” and said that Millennial and Gen Z workers are demanding that organizations take ESG issues seriously. In a December 2024 appearance, Heath also discussed her personal experience caring for her father, a disabled veteran with dementia. She said she was worried he would forget her while she was away on a week-long vacation, and that her brother had asked their father if he knew who he was, to which he replied “my wife.” Heath said she was excited to visit New York and see her sister and an old friend, but added, “Will I relax? I don’t know.”
