Survey Indicates Continued Improvement in TVA Culture
The greatest improvement in feedback on TVA culture was observed among Trades & Labor employees and TVA Police officers, Thompson says. And for the second year in a row, the area of largest improvement was related to making Winning Performance a way of life at TVA. Thompson says that as far as improving the CHI measure, setting targets have been the key. One striking observation weve already seen in the data is the effect of CHI target-setting. The five Strategic Business Units with the largest overall CHI-score improvements established CHI indicators and targets for fiscal year 2003. On the other hand, four of the five SBUs with the smallest CHI-score increases did not adopt CHI targets this year. Top honors go to the Chief Operating Officer organizations Bulk Power Trading, Power Resources & Operations Planning, and the Fossil Power Group, and to the Administration organization. These four SBUs achieved the largest year-to-year overall CHI-score improvements. Thompson says Bulk Power Trading set the CHI high-water mark with an overall CHI score of nearly 92 percent.
As with previous CHI surveys, results for each organization ultimately will be posted on TVA's intranet. An announcement will be included in TVA Today when theyre posted. Managers will begin receiving their organizations CHI reports later this month. The CHI is intended to measure TVAs progress in achieving the Critical Success Factors related to improving the TVA work culture. The CHI focuses on making Winning Performance and the Winning Behaviors a way of life at TVA, as well as helping to promote a fully engaged TVA workforce. If
You Drive a TVA Fleet Vehicle, Dont Forget To Record Mileage at the Pump This mileage information, provided to Fleet Management by Petroleum Source (the supplier of the WEX card system), is used to determine when the vehicles need maintenance, such as oil changes. Accurate, up-to-date mileage records help to ensure safe, reliable vehicles. When a vehicle reaches certain mileage milestones, notifications are sent to the drivers to have recommended maintenance performed. Fleet Management also uses the mileage figures to identify vehicles with high mileage and/or high-maintenance costs, which can help determine when vehicles should be replaced.
Note: Only whole numbers should be recorded not tenths of a mile. Anyone with questions can call Brenda Moton with Fleet Management at 751-1011 in Chattanooga.
