can social make utilities sexy again?
DESCRIPTION
The demands on Utility companies today are increasing substantially. Ageing workforces, recruitment and retention issues are at the forefront of these demands and compounding that, Utilities are increasingly looked on as being boring. On the other hand, start-ups in the social technology space are seen as innovative, customer focussed and fun organisations. Can the lessons and technologies from these companies be used by Utilities? Smart social strategies can radically change an organisation’s image - do you want to make your Utility sexy once more? How social can help Utilities overcome image related issues How social mediums can alleviate some of the aging workforce, recruitment and retention difficulties Engaging customers to reduce their energy requirements and building increased awareness of their usage Your organisation can use social software to communicate better with customers Social technologies can help utilities get their mojo backTRANSCRIPT

Recruitment issues all the more urgent because In the U.S. energy sector, more than a third of the workforce already is over 50 years old - http://hbr.org/2008/02/managing-demographic-risk/ar/1
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: In the US approx 30-40% of the work force in the electric utility sector will retire in the next 10 years
And aging infrastructure
