(713.1) Engaging and Developing High-Performing Employees: Bringing Out Their Best

According to Gallup, two-thirds of employees are either “phoning it in” or actively undermining the work of the organization because they aren’t engaged.

Develop your team members’ knowledge and skills.
Learn how to use delegation as a development tool.
Hold your team members accountable for meeting goals and expectations.
Determine when it’s appropriate to use a formal discipline process up to, and including, termination.

KEY TOPICS

Importance of employee engagement
Four-step process for setting, monitoring and supporting expectations of team members
Goal-setting
Supervisors’ role as coach and mentor
Delegation
Process for giving effective feedback to team members
Supervisors’ responsibilities in recruiting, selecting, and retaining team members

(714.1) Change Is Hard: Guiding Your Team Through Complex Times

With waves of technical, social, economic and regulatory changes, electric cooperatives now find themselves operating in what the U.S. military calls a VUCA environment (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous). In this environment, supervisors must adapt to – and lead – continuous change at their co-ops. The types of changes differ, yet the change process itself is predictable, and so are the ways people respond to change. Supervisors who understand the most effective techniques, and develop solid plans, for navigating their teams through complexity, chaos and confusion are better equipped to thrive in a VUCA world.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Understand the supervisor’s roles and responsibilities related to changes at co-ops.
Learn the typical causes of change and types of change and tools to effectively manage change.
Describe the reactions most people have to change and use techniques for managing these reactions.
Model the attitudes and behaviors needed for a successful change initiative.
Address barriers to change.
Effectively use the “4 Ps” of change communications:

Purpose: why we have to do this.
Picture: what it will look and feel like when we reach our goal.
Plan: step-by-step, how we will get there.
Part: what you can (and need to) do to help us move forward.

KEY TOPICS

Recognizing typical causes and types of change
Supervisors’ responsibility in implementing change
Techniques for managing team member reactions to change
Planning process for implementing a change
Future change agents impacting co-ops
The “4 Ps” of change communications
Modeling expected attitudes and behaviors

Co-op supervisors and managers are not only responsible for completing their own work on time, they’re responsible for the productivity of their team members. It’s easy to become overwhelmed trying to keep track of what needs to be done when and by whom. This course covers best practices for prioritizing tasks, improving your concentration, planning workload, improving how your teams operate, and dealing with common distractions. You’ll learn tools, methods and techniques to help you set goals, prioritize, schedule work and delegate tasks to enhance productivity.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Recognize the myths surrounding productivity and pinpoint the ones that actually make you less productive.
Reduce the number of interruptions you experience during your workday.
Determine which of the most popular time management systems will work well for you and your team.
Prioritize yours and your team’s tasks, and plan out your workload.

Underground Roundup
2019-03-28 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Please join us for the 3rd Annual Underground Distribution Round-Up scheduled for Thursday, March 28th @ Music Road Resort in Pigeon Forge, TN…
Underground power distribution is a fact of life for many in the Tennessee Valley. In many locations nearly all new subdivisions have buried power lines, while in others, local ordinances or policies may actually prohibit the systems. At the same time, older underground distribution systems are reaching the end of their lives, and requiring significant maintenance or replacement.
Designing, installing, repairing and replacing these systems are specialized and technical processes. In many cases, poor designs or errors made in installation or maintenance may not become apparent for literally years, when damaged equipment prematurely fails, requiring emergency responses from the utility, inconveniencing customers and costing the utility payers funds.
The Underground Distribution Round-Up was conceived by the members of the Oak Ridge Electric Department as a venue where utility workers, trainers and suppliers could all gather to learn from each other, exchange ideas on techniques and tools and explore areas of interest and overlap.
Courses are being offered in three major areas of interest: Design, Construction and Operations. Each course will be taught with qualified instructors familiar with our industry and area. There will also be plenty of scheduled time for attendees to visit with vendors who specialize in underground technologies, some of which will demonstrate their tools and techniques on a special vendor demonstration stage.

OSHA 10 Hour Construction with ET&D Endorsement
2019-06-26 08:30 - 2019-06-27 16:00 (America/Chicago)
The course will be held on Wednesday, June 26 from 8:30- 4:00 through Thursday, June 27 from 8:00-4:00. The class will be held in Murfreesboro, TN at the TCAT campus, 1303 Old Fort Parkway. It is $75.00 for a TN JT&S Subscriber to attend and $125.00 for a non- TN JT&S subscriber to attend.
I have attached a copy of the agenda and you can read a brief description of the course below. While we do not have a room block available for this workshop, I can provide you with our negotiated rate with Holiday Inn in Murfreesboro upon request. If you have any questions about the workshop, you can call Mike Simmons directly at 423-326-6376.
This OSHA-accredited course provides an overview of OSHA construction safety regulations, with an emphasis on OSHA regulations for electric generation, transmission, and distribution equipment and systems (1910.269 and 1926 Subpart V). The OSHA 10-hour course is intended for line workers and supervisory employees. Students who complete this course receive an official OSHA card featuring the Partnership endorsement.

RESAP Onsite Observer Workshop
2019-07-17 09:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago)
The RESAP Onsite Observer Workshop is designed to introduce those new to the RESAP Onsite Observation process to the concepts and guidelines currently in effect, and to refresh previous participants in effective observation and reporting techniques and in the goals of the Onsite Observation process within the RESAP program. This workshop will greatly benefit Onsite Observers as well as Safety Personnel and Supervisors at the Cooperatives participating in the Onsite Observations.
Participants will review the Onsite Observation Document’s content and will include discussion of the purpose of the document with regard to assessing the performance of the Cooperative hosting the Observation. The participants will be shown situations, conditions, and items noted in previous Observations and will see how those were addressed in the Observation summary and in the exit conference. The need to observe, record, and present both positive and negative performance items will be stressed.

The philosophy of the new program is to provide honest and candid feedback to cooperative leaders to help them better understand their current state of safety performance. This feedback can be used as important input into a safety improvement plan.

The observation process evaluates questions based on levels of meeting program requirements, including an overall onsite team evaluation for each section of the onsite observation document.

The new evaluation levels and definitions are intended to help guide teams when conducting onsite assessments.

Completion of this Onsite Observation Workshop, along with participation in an actual Onsite Observation, will ensure the participant’s qualification as an Onsite Observer for the RESAP program for Tennessee Cooperatives. This Workshop will also be a very valuable resource for those who will be hosting an Onsite Observation in the future. NRECA, TECA, and the TN JT&S Program greatly appreciate the participation and assistance of all the Cooperatives and their employees with the RESAP program.
