2015 Integrated Report

Recruit, Retain and Develop Our Workforce
Our business is only as good as our people, and at Entergy, we
are fortunate to work with the best in the business. Our talent and
performance management practices are closely aligned with our
business strategy and are designed to recruit and retain a skilled
workforce and to train, develop and promote individuals to achieve
our business objectives. Talent and performance management
supports organizational health improvement by emphasizing key
leadership and employee practices. We have an integrated talent
management system that helps manage recruiting, onboarding,
performance management and succession planning. We use
performance and talent management processes to help employees
develop their capabilities, achieve career goals and contribute to the company’s goals and objectives. Our
employee development strategy includes training and a variety of other resources to support developmental
opportunities. We also engage with external partners to supplement employee development. In 2015, we
completed an effort to align and standardize several key talent management processes, including goal
setting, performance reviews, individual development plans, talent assessment and succession planning.
We continued to enhance our recruiting and development initiatives in 2015. For example, our transmission
group recruited new engineering, project management and construction employees to support its growing
number of infrastructure projects to enhance reliability and serve
new customers. Recruiting efforts included targeting college
recruiting at several universities and an Entergy Interview Day in
New Orleans. Additionally, major training efforts are underway
throughout the transmission group. A new transmission boot camp
that provides craft training graduated 42 employees in 2015, its
second year of operation. Graduates return to their home offices,
where they begin on-the-job training and the certification process.
Competitive total compensation programs are also important
to recruiting and retaining employees. In addition to salary and
benefits, our comprehensive Total Rewards package gives eligible
employees access to a defined contribution savings plan, with
company matching and numerous investment options. Retirement
