About this episode
Co-op leaders discuss strategies for succession planning in the face of an aging workforce.
The electric co-op workforce is on the cusp of big change, with a large portion of leadership and other employees nearing retirement age in the coming years. But succession planning involves more than hiring someone's replacement—it's about creating a co-op that's ready for the future. Hear from NRECA Director of Human Capital Planning & Compensation Delaine Orendorff, Deaf Smith Electric Cooperative President and General Manager Tim Burkhalter and Wells Rural Electric Co. CEO Thad Ballard.
