Feedback
“If you feel that there is a need, go ahead and implement a program because it is healthy for the culture of our coop.  I think people are doing a better job controlling emotions and bringing issues out in the air, talking things out, working together as a team.  We have made great strides compared to a year ago.I discovered I have a great employee group and they want to learn to do better and the Reaching for Excellence program facilitated that."

Program
Russell Associates assisted Northern Natural Gas in updating their skill-based pay program to reflect current procedures and new regulatory standards.  The services included assistance with structuring and content of the program and editing of the final version.  Russell Associates also used their prior experience to assist Northern Natural Gas in understanding the options and considerations required for a skill-based pay program.
Feedback
“The feedback on the project has been very positive. The people that Russell Associates provided fit in very nicely with the environment. Our employees trusted them. Each group that came in that worked with representatives from Russell felt very comfortable with the product and very comfortable in sharing their knowledge with someone outside the company so it was a very successful project. I think we were very efficient with our time and very successful with the project."
