A water/wastewater utility's success depends on developing competent, flexible employees. The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) Operations Department rotates operations supervisors, engineers, and division managers to effectively prepare them for future promotion opportunities. The result is an internal development program with greater employee retention and effortless succession planning.
