ELECTRIC UTILITY HR METRICS BENCHMARKING - Community of Practice

In 2002, at the request of Entergy, Southern Company, Dominion Resources, Exelon, Tennessee Valley Authority, JEA, LG&E Energy, Aquila and Westar Energy, the Electric Utility-HR Metrics Group (EU-HRMG) was formed to develop common HR Metrics for the electric utilities.  In the past 3-years, the Electric Utility HR Metrics were developed and data collected for 2003, 2004 and 2005 and 2006 (year-end data). 

The EU-HRMG has grown from the initial nine electric utilities to the following thirty-five (35) electric utilities over a short four year time period. Additional information and contact list/bio information is available in the Participant Only section at www.euhrmg.com.

The electric utilities participating in data entry and/or reviewing the metrics are as follows:

  * Electric Utilities that chose to review the data in 2007 and consideration participation in 2008.

NOTE: if a company did not participate OR review the data in 2007, the initial fee will be twice that of participating companies.  This policy was established by the EU-HRMG Steering Committee to maintain our consistency (keep companies from coming in and out) and to encourage companies to try the data (if they are are pass the deadline for data entry).

If your company is interested in joining these electric utilities, visit our NEW EU-HRMG Web Site at www.euhrmg.com or contact us at rick@hrs-s.com  / 919-367-9040.

EU-HRMG ELECTRIC UTILITY BACKGROUND

In 2005, the Electric Utility-HR Metrics group (EU-HRMG) took on more structure.  The group, after two-years of data collection, decided to continue and make the data entry and access to data more user friendly; increase the verification of data; and expand the HR metrics to all electric utilities.  Therefore, the group reached an agreement with HR Strategies & Solutions, Inc to facilitate this effort.  Navigant Consulting, Inc. was selected in late 2005 to develop and maintain a web site for data collection, analysis, retention and downloading of the data for additional analysis. 

The following was implemented in 2006:

• HR METRICS WEB SITE: the first HR Metrics web site designed for electric utilities was implemented: www.euhrmg.com.

• HR METRICS ANALYSIS & REPORT 2005 REPORT: click here to see a sample report prepared by Navigant Consulting, Inc: Electric Utility-HR Metrics Analysis  Report-2000 EXAMPLE

• HR METRICS PARTICIPATION: If you are interested in participating and would like to review the data prior to participating in 2007, please consider the following opportunity through 2007:

   

  • PURCHASE FOR REVIEW & CONSIDERATION: a number of electric utilities have purchased the data for the intent purpose of review, analysis, use during restructurings/mergers and possible participation in the 2007 data entry (2006 year-end data).  Each utility, choosing this alternative, will have the same access and review of the raw data that the participating companies have except your data will not be included. 
  • REVIEW & CONSIDERATION FEE: the fee is the same as participating companies: $1,000 per company.  Upon an email acknowledgement that your company would like to review the 4-years of data (2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006), a userid and password will be issued for web site access.  You can download the raw data and complete internal analysis.
  • ACCESS TO WEB SITE: your utility will have access to the data and final report (without your company data) through Feb 1, 2008.  At that point, your utility will be invoiced for the 2008 Participation Fee to provide your 2007 HR metrics data input
