Electric co-ops are facing an increasingly transient and aging workforce, placing a greater need for effective succession planning. Succession planning is a systematic approach to analyze and plan for the future transitional workforce needs.
Our approach proactively assesses leadership transitional risk, critical job roles and talent capabilities and helps cooperatives actively plan for future workforce needs consistent with the organization’s strategic direction. We emphasize effective succession planning to minimize the impacts from the pending risk of losing critical knowledge, specialized talents, and essential leadership capabilities.
Successful succession plans give attention to critical skills required for key positions; assess the workforce risk factors for succession; and focuses on strategies to address critical gaps.
Are you a director on a cooperative board? You have a critical role in facilitating effective succession planning to help ensure strong co-op leadership for years to come. NRECA experts Leigh Taylor and Delaine Orendorff presented attendees of the 2025 Directors Conference with more information on this topic. View the presentation to learn more.
