We are investing in our organization to forge a healthy culture. Our strategic imperative is to
transform our organization by sustaining workforce safety and wellness; driving organizational
health; and recruiting, retaining and developing our workforce.
Sustain Workforce Safety and Wellness
There is nothing more important at Entergy than working safely and
going home safely every day after work. In addition to protecting our
employees’ well-being, strong operational safety and top-tier safety
practices are fundamental drivers of our business performance. We
continue to evaluate our approach to safety and make ongoing
improvements to achieve our goal of top-decile safety performance.
In 2014, when our safety performance fell short, we engaged our
leaders to be in the field observing and coaching, instituted hazard
recognition programs and reinforced the use of human performance
tools. As a result, accident rates dropped significantly by year-end.
We continued these efforts in 2015 and made a number of changes
to our safety practices and systems. We created a special safety
team to work closely with safety advisory boards, provide field safety support, develop targeted training
and coordinate third-party reviews. We launched a new accident and incident reporting system (AirsWeb)
companywide to track and report safety-related incidents, audits and observations. We also introduced a
new safety manual, developed with input and feedback from more than 600 field personnel.
Workforce safety performance improved in 2015, reducing the employee recordable accident index rate
by 11 percent. Entergy employees had 111 recordable accidents, down from 120 in 2014, and there were
no fatalities for the second year in a row. Our 2015 employee safety performance ranked in the second
quartile of the Southeastern Electric Exchange benchmarking survey of investor-owned utilities.
After a recordable accident rate for contractors of 1.22 in 2013, measures including a contractor safety
summit were implemented. Contractor injuries in 2014 decreased to a rate of .91, and in 2015, the rate
dropped to .85, tying our lowest-ever recorded injury rate for contractors since recordkeeping began in
2001. Entergy contractors had 72 recordable accidents in 2015, down from 85 in 2014, and there were no
