IDGC of Centre - Smolenskenergo division does active work to create a personnel reserve from among the company’s specialists, which allows creating conditions for professional development and career growth of employees. In 2017, 46 reservists of the branch were transferred to vacant management positions. 60% of them are young employees under 35 years old.
One of the requirements for reservists, along with the availability of higher education and work experience, is the willingness to move to work in another locality. So, for example, in 2017 two reservists moved from Smolensk to Tver: Ivan Silaev, a senior master of the electricity metering department of the Smolensk City Distribution Zone of Smolenskenergo, became the deputy chief of Kalininsky Distribution Zone for sale of services at Tverenergo, and Anton Balakin, who worked as the deputy chief of the Smolensk City Distribution Zone for of services is currently Deputy Director for Sale and Development of Services of the Tver branch.
"The staff reserve of the branch is the most promising and initiative employees who are interested in their professional development and career growth. For several years, the vacant positions have been filled with reservists. This not only motivates employees for professional development, but also allows filling up vacancies quickly and efficiently," commented Alla Korolkova, the head of the HR department at Smolenskenergo.
At present, the staff reserve of the branch is formed for 560 management positions. Each reservist has a mentor from among the most experienced employees who assists in the development of the target position, and individual development plans for the year. During the annual holidays of managers, reservists, as a rule, fulfill their duties, gaining experience.
In April 2018, the company plans to hold a meeting of members of the personnel reserve in Tambov, in which masters of electricity metering and loss optimization departments will take part.
