2016-17 SaskEnergy Annual Report

OUR TEAM Our Team is a broad and diverse group that includes employees, contractors and business partners. These groups work together to develop mutually beneficial solutions for customers as well as improve the efficiency and effectiveness of work processes. The efficiency directives from the provincial government have resulted in aggressive vacancy management (not always filling position vacancies when they occur). While significant savings have been realized in the short term, the longer-term impacts of vacancy management, when taken to extremes, cannot be ignored as customer service levels are inevitably impacted. Retirements in key operating areas are further exacerbating the longer-term impacts of vacancy management as the experience and knowledge of those retirees is lost. However, efforts to foster a results-focused culture, along with effective leadership development and succession management practices, continue to provide positive results. The Our Team mandate also reflects SaskEnergy’s commitment to providing “the right resource at the right place at the right time”. Within Our Team, there are three categories of measures — Physical Safety, Employee Engagement and Workforce Diversity.

Physical Safety Employee and public safety are at the core of every activity at SaskEnergy. Sending each employee home safely at the end of every day is the Corporation’s top priority. Working with industry peers and other stakeholder groups to share knowledge and adopt industry best practices, SaskEnergy continually strives to develop a safety-first work environment, where processes and procedures are documented as meeting or exceeding the continually evolving best-practice standards. The Corporation recognizes that these processes are the foundation for safety and that the safety culture and the individual decisions made by employees and contractors each day will ultimately determine success in this vital area. The Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF) rate was 1.63 at the end of March, 2017. This means there were 1.63 reportable injuries for every 100 employees. This result allowed the Corporation to achieve its lowest TRIF rate on record for the fourth consecutive year. Based on the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) benchmark information, this result places SaskEnergy in the second quartile relative to its CGA counterparts.
