Your SLVREC team has developed a 2025 Roadmap, which describes our key initiatives for the year ahead.
Illustrated in the GOALS section are four focus areas: Workforce, Financial, Reliability and Communications. Under them you’ll find a list of goals that SLVREC plans to accomplish this year. Each one is aligned to drive us toward our Five-Year Strategic Plan. Here is a brief description of each one for you:
Workforce
• Team Service Projects: To develop leadership, teamwork and service to others through team projects
• We CARE employee events: To deliver a leadership educational moment and cultural team-building experience
• Operations Center Evaluation: To improve our main operations and dispatch center, which is central to our daily operations, safety, reliability, and member communication
• New Mapping Software: To improve our asset management, safety and reliability
• Process Improvement Training Phase II: Our goal is constant improvement; we’ve adopted a globally recognized change management process named Lean Six Sigma. Phase II further delivers certification training to employees and process improvement projects to deliver the best value to members.
