Three Lessons Best Learned Early

People don't like to hear difficult things. Sometimes the things that we need to hear are so important, it becomes imperative the sender of the message delivers the point in a manner the receiver can digest. Say it the right way, and you..

Senior Director, PCI

Lesson #1- Character is your foundation. How you behave when nobody is looking is the ultimate test. Always do the right thing. Define your character early in life. This is a good one to extract for the whole utility industry. Customers won't remember the years of good service and trusted partnership if they get slighted or hurt by the utilities-- that will be the enduring image...

"it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently" - Warren Buffett I think Bershire Hathaway owns a few utilities and so I think he would agree with you Matt. How you treat people when they are down(like today) will be remembered.

Three Ways to Select the Best Candidates Without In-Person Interviews

The “candidate experience” is something you should be thinking of. It is what candidates see, feel, and perceive of an employer based on their interaction through the entire recruitment lifecycle from initial contact to onboarding...

Managing Principal, Riviera Advisors

Great insights, Jeremy-- thanks for sharing. I have two quick questions: 1- Do you see the current pandemic and shift towards all sorts of virtual meetings as having a long-term impact of more companies shifting to virtual interviews more quickly than they had been planning on (if they even had been planning on it)? 2- Are there any unique considerations to this virtual interviewing...

Matt... thanks for your feedback and your questions.

Terrific-- really appreciate your thorough response, Jeremy!Interesting to hear that some of the changes towards virtual hiring practices were already well underway at utilities. Sounds like this will be an exciting area to keep an eye on in the coming months and years

CEO, SHE Team

Great post, Tessa. I agree with you about a shift in future employment and recruiting trends. Within the utility industry, the changes are driven by internal factors, such as an aging workforce, and external ones, such as the current pandemic and changes to the grid.

Cybersecurity at Utilities: 2020

Cybersecurity is a continuing challenge for utilities. To meet this challenge for the long term, utilities should consider parnering with educators.

Director, Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Great points, Mike. Obviously on the technical side of cybersecurity, utilities (and all businesses) should have already been prepared and had protocols in place that would carry with them through the unexpected shift to working remotely. But the educational efforts can and likely should be ramped up these days as the weak links are so often the ones sitting in front of the monitor, not...

Power Perspectives™ Interview: Welcome Danielle Gruppo, New Expert in the HR & Recruitment Community

Much of the attention in the utility industry goes to the frontline and visible initiatives: the power generation, the energy efficiency professionals making home energy audits, the linemen ensuring reliability and consistency in the grid.

Utilities are the new cool

Did you miss out on the Renaissance or the Industrial Revolution? Too young for the Dot-Com Revolution? Here's your chance to change the world.

Assistant General Manager - Power Supply, Burbank Water and Power

I love this, Lincoln. Obviously I'm biased, but I agree! A silver lining impact of the COVID-19 situation is the long-overdue celebration of utility workers who are the definition of essential and who are rightly being recognized and honored for the work they do to keep the rest of us safe, healthy, and productive.

Agreed, Matt. We are a little too invisible sometimes!
