Organizational Effectiveness - Allen Integrated Site

Report Information

Date Issued
Report Number
2022-17335
Report Type
Inspection / Evaluation
Description
The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the Allen Integrated Site (Allen) to identify factors that could impact Allen’s organizational effectiveness. During the course of our evaluation, we identified positive behavioral factors, including relationships with team members and business units outside Allen; however, we also identified behavioral concerns with two managers. In addition, we identified operational factors needing improvement related to (1) perceptions of ineffective work management, (2) fire alarm system repairs, and (3) site security and access concerns. Management is addressing some of these concerns by implementing a Gas Operations’ initiative to address work management, overseeing fire alarm system repairs, and submitting documentation to upgrade site security.
