ALBUQUERQUE, NM, Nov. 24, 2008 -- While awareness of the aging workforce and aging utility assets is high, the far-reaching effects of workforce retirement may prove to be more of a tsunami for utilities than a wave -- and they are coming faster than anticipated.
In January of 2007, UtiliPoint International surveyed 42 electric, gas, and water utilities to determine the state of the aging workforce and aging utility assets from 2007 through 2012. Respondents ranged from C-level executives through engineers, human resource planners, and IT decision makers.
