Utilities Organization Uses TalentClick Assessments to Identify High Performers During Succession Planning
Customer story
The Challenge
With roots dating back to 1891, EPCOR is a utilities corporation based in Edmonton, Alberta. Previously involved in power generation, EPCOR now focuses on providing water and wastewater treatment for municipalities throughout western Canada. The organization has 2,700 employees. As with many large, unionized companies, EPCOR is predicting a high number of employee retirements in the years to come. As part of their succession planning, they needed a way to identify “high potentials” who could become the next wave of leaders.

The Solution
TalentClick completed a job type/psychometric dimension mapping questionnaire and created a customized guide for referencing leadership competencies. EPCOR began using customized versions of TalentClick’s Leadership Profile (LP) and Workstyle & Performance Profile (WPP) for multiple business units, job types and job levels. HR staff underwent TalentClick training on assessment administration and results interpretation, and were then provided with training and reference materials for ongoing use.
Leadership Profile (LP)
The Leadership Profile (LP) helps inform hiring and development of your organization’s most valuable resource – its leaders. Investing in personalized leadership programs for your high potential people can lead to increased retention, productivity, engagement, and more.
These reports were spot on…totally nailed it, very insightful.
