Implementing new functionality in Workday
Last year, we launched Workday, our global human capital management system, which empowers people to better manage their careers at AES. Workday serves as the foundation to the HR Performance2 program which is a series of improvements that allows HR to better serve AES people. As part of the Energy Star program, we are accelerating the roll-out of additional functionality in Workday including new modules for Recruiting, Onboarding and Absence Management. The additional functionality will create global consistency in how we recruit and onboard our people and provide even more flexibility for AES people to manage their career. Over the past two weeks, representatives from each SBU came together in person and virtually to participate in day-long global and local design sessions for this new functionality. The collective insight from each of the SBUs will ensure the roll-out of the new modules will effectively benefit how we recruit our people and how they onboard, grow and develop at AES.

Monthly Cybersecurity Message from
Scott Goodhart
If you haven't changed your LinkedIn password recently, you should do so immediately. LinkedIn, a popular business-oriented social networking service, experienced a data breach four years ago, and what initially seemed to be a compromise of 6.5 million passwords has now turned out to be a major breach of 117 million passwords. This past week, LinkedIn announced that a large number of login credentials are being sold on the black market by cybercriminals. This incident at LinkedIn highlights not only the importance of changing passwords on a regular basis but also the risk of reusing passwords for different accounts. Remember, your password is your first line of defense.

Recognizing safety heroes on AES.com
It doesn't take super powers or a cape to be a hero. A hero is known for their courage, achievements or noble qualities. When it comes to safety, that means you keep your eyes and mind on the task. Being a hero means you're looking out for yourself, your team mates and your family, on the job, at home and in the community. To celebrate our safety heroes that are Always On for Safety, we have launched a new video series on aes.com with short clips from our people discussing best safety practices. Be sure to bookmark the page as new content will be added periodically over the next few weeks.
