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
INITIATIVE TASK / PURPOSE STEPS or potential steps Potential PERFORMANCE MEASURE ‐AND/OR Timeline TASK ‐ Comments ‐ Responsibility

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.
