Over 70% of energy employers are struggling to attract and retain a qualified workforce. The objective of this panel at the 2022 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference is to discuss the workforce challenges facing the industry today and offer talent strategies that can be leveraged to drive a positive employee experience.
We have selected panel members with broad utility expertise in the areas of operations, human resources, human performance & safety, workforce development, and workforce analytics.
The panel discussion will focus on three areas:
