Employees ‘Get to Know ITC’ During Town Halls
The latest round of meetings focused on corporate support functions
With the prospect of expanding their business’ reach from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast, and with temperatures dropping below freezing in Novi, Michigan, it wasn’t hard to recruit a few members of the ITC team to head down to the Gulf South region to meet with Entergy employees and share their experiences with the company.
ITC ambassadors recently completed a series of “Get to Know ITC” meetings for shared services employees to discuss the structure of ITC’s corporate support teams, the job application process and insights into ITC’s culture. Meetings were held Dec. 12 and 13 in New Orleans, Jackson and Little Rock.
Simon Whitelocke, ITC’s vice president of regulatory and external affairs, opened each meeting with a special videotaped welcome from Joe Welch, president, chairman and chief executive officer of ITC Holdings Corp, who emphasized the role of corporate support groups in the company’s top-decile performance and operational excellence.
“Today you will hear from a few of our highly valued members of the ITC corporate support team,” Welch said. “We want to ensure that you have all of the information you need as you consider applying for positions at ITC.”
Whitelocke then shared his own experience with the company, having joined ITC nearly a decade ago from DTE Energy.
“It has been a tremendously rewarding experience to work for ITC and to be part of its growth from a small company to the company it is today – the nation’s largest fully independent transmission company,” said Whitelocke. “The team aspect is what I enjoy the most about ITC — it’s the hallmark of our success.”
Whitelocke and fellow ITC team leads shared background on corporate support areas, including legal, regulatory, finance, accounting and tax, human resources, and marketing and communications. Afterward, Entergy employees were given an opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with ITC team members.
“Our trip to speak to the Entergy employees was very fruitful. It was great to see such an interest from the Entergy employees in what our company is all about and what we might be able to do in the region. The enthusiasm of the employees helped invigorate us on each step of our visit,” Kwafo Adarkwa, Senior Regulatory Analyst, ITC Holdings Corp.
Corporate support positions for ITC are being filled through an interview process. ITC will contact those who they would like to move forward into the interview stage and anticipates responding to all applications no later than Jan. 31.
