The Non-Nuclear Employee Concerns Program (ECP) is important to the Tennessee Valley Authority's current culture and environment. The OIG conducted a review to determine whether the program was addressing employee concerns in a timely and effective manner.We found improvements in the Non-Nuclear ECP have been made in addressing concerns in a timely manner, but the effectiveness of the program could be improved. We found (1) instances where the Non-Nuclear ECP was not adequately addressing employee concerns, and (2) some employees felt concerns were not being adequately addressed and reported experiencing pressure and repercussions from management and team members.We recommended TVA management (1) identify an individual to perform audits and assessments of closed concerns, (2) coach individuals addressing concerns on what constitutes a sufficient investigation, and (3) develop an instrument to send to complainants to indicate instances of retaliation and investigate as necessary. TVA management agreed with our findings and recommendations. Summary Only
