Succession Planning: Research & Development

Succession Planning

A large percentage of ODOT employees meet the criteria to retire due to age or years of service.  It can be assumed that as these individuals choose to retire ODOT will lose key employees and their critical organizational knowledge.  In addition, there are fewer individuals in following generations (Generation X, Y or 9/11) available for employment.  The Department has identified this resource gap as a risk needing action.  Research conducted by AASHTO and other groups indicate that organizations who are successful in closing this skill gap and building the future workforce employ an identified group of approximately ten similar initiatives and best practices.  Research further indicates the most successful companies demonstrate effort in each of the following ten categories.  Activities are underway across the Department to identify and implement actions regarding these initiatives and reduce Agency risk in this area.  REFERENCE: White paper presented to Executive Team Spring 2011, AASHTO

1.  Executive support and management buy in is critical to the success of succession planning

Under DevelopmentDemonstrate management commitment

Travis Brouwer is leading an effort to increase our ability to attract and retain the Gen X,Y and Z demographic and improve their satisfaction 

Project Leader‐Joanna Robert, project expected to conclude Spring 2015

ONGOING Demonstrate management commitment CHRO provides regular progress reports to Executive Team Most recent report delivered August 2013

2.  Position Management ‐ Develop shared core attributes for key positions, Develop a strong Recruitment and Interview Process

NEW CONCEPT Increase Workforce Diversity

Agency is not meeting goals? For Diversity within the workforce.  In coming months HR staff will be working to meet with leadership of minority groups and develop relationships with the intent of finding new opportunities to share recruitment information in a way that will interest minority candidates.

% of minority, disabled and female employees in ODOT workforce compared to % of same in Oregon as shown in most recent census information.

Michael Cobb to introduce Jane Lee to minority group leadership to share information.  Meetings will be scheduled within the next quarter (Complete)

New Concept Increase Workforce Diversity

Recent BOLI and legislative decisions are changing the traditional way that state agencies handle veteran applicants.  While we are waiting for a DAS/BOLI direction on the issue, we as an agency need to prepare managers for changes in how we interview and apply veterans preference points.

Waiting for DAS ruling, reviewing Forestry video for relevance to ODOT management.  Considering changes to training for managers regarding interview procedures/process.

CONCEPT Develop Core Attributes for Key Positions

Some groups across the agency are using the book Strengthsfinder 2.0written by Tom Rath for team and personal growth.  The information on individual strengths is not being gathered or used intentionally at a corporate level.  

Per 2010 AASHTO Report, Minnesota DOT has developed Individual competencies for all positions, August 2014‐DAS is working with ELT to determine core competencies for management.  HR will be implementing SHRM competencies as a tool for HR staff development and achievement.

Unless otherwise noted, projects are concepts only and not planned activities.
