Assess Strategic Direction and Operational Needs Evaluate Progress and Results Assess Strategic Direction and Operational Needs Assess Current Workforce Situation To determine workforce issues for a set period of time: > Review the utility s strategic plan > Develop understanding of operational needs > Assess organizational structure > Understand the external environment Define Goals and Strategies Conduct Gap Analysis 12
2. Assess Current Workforce Situation Evaluate Progress and Results Define Goals and Strategies Assess Strategic Direction and Operational Needs Conduct Gap Analysis Assess Current Workforce Situation Develop an understanding of the utility s current situation and assess current internal strengths and weaknesses: > Review of vacancies > Turnover rates > Retirements and terminations > Why people are leaving? > Why people are staying? > Critical positions at risk > Workforce demographics > Competencies for positions 13
3. Conduct Gap Analysis Evaluate Progress and Results Define Goals and Strategies Assess Strategic Direction and Operational Needs Conduct Gap Analysis Assess Current Workforce Situation Build understanding: > Big picture (strategic direction and external environment) > Internal workforce needs and capabilities Conduct gap analysis: > Identify talent needs and compare to current talent pool > Determine staffing gaps > Identify competency gaps What is needed to have the right people with the right skills in the right place and the right cost? 14

CPS Energy A Practical Example
Workforce Snapshot CPS Energy > 3100 employees > 26% of the workforce is retirement eligible > 75% are Baby Boomers which increases likelihood of near term retirements (vs other eligibles more likely to be longer horizon) > 77% of the retirement eligible are in the transmission & distribution and power generation operational areas > The number of retirement eligible employees has remained steady in recent years driving the need for workforce and succession planning 18
Workforce Planning CPS Energy Actions > Role segmentation exercise Reporting > Categories = Mission Critical, Core, Support > Supported succession planning and talent development efforts (focus) > Emphasized need for knowledge capture/transfer for Mission Critical and Core roles with retirement eligible incumbents > Distributed annually (business unit level) prior to annual budget process > Include key questions to identify staffing needs and drive HR service delivery > Retirement eligibility data & projections > Turnover data with emphasis on roles with highest turnover and top reasons for turnover (may include review of exit interview data) > Workforce demographics (gender, generation and tenure) > Succession planning data 19
Workforce Planning CPS Energy Talent Pipeline Strategy > Intern programs for college and high school students increased emphasis on high school students > Educational partnerships with local colleges/universities to support employer talent needs and strengthen pipeline of interns as future employees > Input supports curriculum development > Includes community colleges with technical/trade curriculums for critical technician roles and other hard to fill roles > Define and align culture > Branding that attracts millennials > Supports recruitment, retention and engagement 20
Succession Planning CPS Energy > Process > Performance & Potential > Readiness Assessment > Development Planning > Talent Development > Job Rotation Program > Competency Profiles > Third Party Leadership Programs > Metrics 21

Succession Planning CPS Energy Readiness 23
Succession Planning CPS Energy Development Planning The 70/20/10 model is a learning and development method that blends different approaches to provide well rounded learning: > 70% Learning from Experience: from on-the-job experiences, tasks, and problem solving > 20% Learning from Others: observing others and/or obtaining feedback from others (manager, coach, mentor) and assessing what worked well or could have been handled differently > 10% Learning from Instruction: from courses, reading and other self-development methodologies (e.g. certifications) 24
