Our company has experienced many changes in the last year. Although many of the recent changes<br />
have been challenging, it is important for us to reflect on where we’ve been, where we’re going,<br />
and who helped us accomplish so much.<br />
It is you, our employees, who make this company successful. We want to feel proud—whether we’re<br />
talking to our families, friends or neighbors—that we’re part of a company that demonstrates people<br />
matter. That’s what the Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> is about—celebrating employees who contribute to the<br />
success of our business while living the company’s values and guiding behaviors.<br />
Some people have suggested we postpone this year’s <strong>Award</strong>s program to save money. But I<br />
believe now, more than ever, is a time for us to celebrate our employees. I’m excited about the<br />
2013 Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> and I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into making this program<br />
a success!<br />

Program Overview<br />
The Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> celebrates employees’ outstanding performance—people who “go above and<br />
beyond the call of duty” while living <strong>Edison</strong> <strong>International</strong>’s values and guiding behaviors.<br />
Who’s Eligible to Win<br />
The Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> is open to current/active employees, supervisors and managers of the <strong>Edison</strong><br />
<strong>International</strong> Companies, including those represented by the IBEW and UWUA unions, with some<br />
exceptions. The program excludes senior management (directors and above at SCE; managing directors and<br />
above at EME). Contingent workers (including supplemental personnel, consultants and contractors) are also<br />
ineligible, as are Ethics and Compliance and HR employees involved in the Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> corporate<br />
vetting process. Also, previous Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> winners are not eligible. All nominations must be for an<br />
individual employee (not a team). The employee’s highlighted performance must have been demonstrated<br />
within the last two years.<br />
What We Want to Recognize<br />
We want to recognize employees who are counted on and looked up to by their peers – those employees<br />
who motivate others to live our values. We’re looking for two main qualities in our winners:<br />
1. The first quality is outstanding performance—role models who go above and beyond what’s asked of<br />
them to deliver value to <strong>Edison</strong> <strong>International</strong>. When nominating someone, consider people who<br />
Take extra personal initiative to get the job done right.<br />
Are known as the “go to” people in their work group.<br />
Take performance to the next level.<br />
2. The second quality is living our values and guiding behaviors—role models who consistently<br />
demonstrate our values in action. When nominating someone, be sure to reinforce specific guiding<br />
behaviors and provide concrete examples.<br />
Continuous Improvement: Consistently raises the performance bar; develops others; ensures others<br />
have the context and information to succeed; pursues opportunities to grow and learn; takes<br />
appropriate risks; welcomes change and new ideas, not an “observer‐critic.”<br />
Excellence: Accepts accountability for his/her actions; acts with a sense of urgency; builds on the<br />
strengths of diversity; puts safety first for an injury‐free workplace; sets high expectations and gets<br />
results.<br />
Integrity: Acknowledges and learns from mistakes; delivers on commitments and promises; handles<br />
issues directly and openly; lives our values; walks the talk—actions and words are consistent.<br />
Respect: Assumes best intentions, not motives; fosters a positive, open environment; provides<br />
honest feedback and constructive coaching; recognizes the contributions of others.<br />
Teamwork: Encourages cross‐organizational collaboration; identifies new opportunities for creating<br />
value by working together; involves others and seeks their input; makes decisions for the greater<br />
good, not self‐interest; strengthens performance through mutual support.<br />

Changes to the 2013 Program<br />
Our team gathered feedback from the 2011 program to identify ways to improve in 2013. We’ve made<br />
some significant program changes to better align with our new corporate structure. The most significant<br />
change is that we’ve incorporated a two‐step judging process across the organization. All Org Units will<br />
now choose a maximum number of finalists proportionate to their employee population base (see p.<br />
18). There will be 60 finalists total. Finalists will be vetted with Human Resources and Ethics prior to their<br />
submission to the Winners Judging Team for evaluation. The Winners Judging Team will consist of 13 Org<br />
Unit Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> Program Directors plus a small group of former Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> Winners –<br />
including at least one union member. The Team will evaluate the finalists and select 30 Chairman’s<br />
<strong>Award</strong> winners.<br />

of 13 Org Unit Program Directors plus a<br />
small group of former Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong><br />
winners, including at least one union<br />
member, select 30 winners from the 60<br />
finalists.<br />

Winner selection process is transparent and fair.<br />
60 finalists broaden recognition without adding<br />
cost. Enables flexibility – not locked to a specific<br />
number of winners per Org Unit.<br />
Broaden opportunity for corporate recognition.<br />
Breaks down barriers between Org Units. Allows<br />
latitude in Winner selection to recognize our<br />
best employees regardless of Org Unit.<br />

simplified for Org Units. Corp Comm will provide<br />
greater support.<br />

Organizational Unit Support<br />
Organizational Unit Leadership Role:<br />
As an officer, you plan an important role in the success of the Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> program. Have fun with<br />
your program. This is a great opportunity to spotlight people who are making a difference in your<br />
organization.<br />
1. Please assign one Program Director and one Communications Liaison for your Org Unit to<br />
coordinate your efforts.<br />
2. Identify a Program Director to be responsible for managing the process within your Org Unit and<br />
ensure all program deadlines are met. We are requesting a Director‐level position because in<br />
many organizations Directors have served in this role in previous years and we want to have<br />
consistency across the organization. Also, Directors are not eligible to be nominated. In addition,<br />
the Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> is a corporate priority and deserves executive attention. The Program<br />
Directors will oversee the nomination collection process and manage the judging to pick your<br />
finalists. They will also serve on the Winners Judging Team.<br />
3. Identify a Communications Liaison to help publicize the program, winners and deadline schedule<br />
within your Org Unit, and provide minimal nomination editorial support.<br />
4. Actively promote the award program to create excitement leading up to the winners’ recognition<br />
event tentatively scheduled for June 22, 2013.<br />
5. Celebrate the finalists and winners within your organization. Personally recognize your<br />
organization’s award recipients, highlighting their stories as examples of <strong>Edison</strong> <strong>International</strong>’s<br />
values in action. Personal recognition from senior leadership is a major component of this<br />
program’s prestige.<br />
6. Attend the Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> recognition event. Your presence at the event will demonstrate your<br />
commitment to the program itself, but more importantly your commitment to the company’s<br />
values and culture.<br />
Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> Program Director Role:<br />
1. Work with your Org Unit Leadership, Communications Liaison and other members of your team on<br />
promoting the overall program, encouraging nominations and managing the finalist judging<br />
process for your team.<br />
2. We’re using a “grass roots” nomination process across all business lines, where employees are<br />
encouraged to participate in the program to nominate their peers. This approach increases<br />
participation among employees. Employees may nominate their peers or a manager, managers<br />
may nominate their subordinates, and leadership may nominate their employees. However, teams<br />
may not be nominated.<br />
3. Please note that you may need to use additional personnel to review your nominations. Entries<br />
may require more editing, since specific details and anecdotes might not be included. Also, you<br />
may need to establish a process to ensure the claims made in the nomination are accurate.<br />
4. Form a selection committee of VPs and/or directors from the departments represented within the<br />
Org Unit to select the finalists for your group.<br />
5. You will also serve on the Winners Judging Team with a small group of former Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong><br />
Winners – including at least one union member – to pick the 30 winners.<br />

Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> Communications Liaison Role:<br />
1. Work with your Program Director and Org Unit Leadership on the communication needs for your<br />
team.<br />
2. Plan to communicate the overall program and nominations schedule with your Org Unit<br />
employees – targeting three main deadlines – beginning, middle and end of the nomination<br />
window.<br />
3. Your Program Director may ask you to review your finalists’ entries, identify where those entries<br />
need to be expanded and provide writing support to enhance possible information gaps.<br />
Depending on the number of entries received, you may need additional help from your team.<br />
4. Publicize your finalists through localized communications and events.<br />
5. Once the finalists are announced, you will be asked to assist the <strong>Inside</strong> <strong>Edison</strong> and awards event<br />
team with writing/editing your winners’ information.<br />
General Tips:<br />
Plan ahead and allow enough time to complete the Org Unit finalists judging process.<br />
Consider diversity and representation across different job levels and categories (both represented<br />
and non‐represented, field and frontline) in your selection. Our goal is to have strong participation<br />
that represents the full breadth of our employee base.<br />

Nomination Process<br />
Current & Active Employees:<br />
1. You can nominate your peers using the online nomination form posted through<br />
http://inside.edison.com/chairmansaward. Contingent workers are not eligible to submit<br />
nominations. There will be one nomination form and one submission deadline for all Org Units.<br />
You may nominate your peers or a manager, and managers and leadership may nominate<br />
subordinates. You may also nominate someone outside of your Org Unit.<br />
2. You may not nominate yourself or a team of employees. However, you may submit multiple<br />
nominations – completing a separate nomination form for each employee.<br />
3. It is important to complete the entire nomination form because each section is specially designed<br />
to ensure consistency across all business lines. If the form is incomplete, it may not be eligible for<br />
consideration. To help streamline the nomination process, we’ve reduced the total word count<br />
requirement from 4,000 to 1,200.<br />
4. The judging process is not based on grammar, vocabulary or spelling, but rather on convincing,<br />
specific and factual examples that show why the employee deserves to be a role model for <strong>Edison</strong><br />
<strong>International</strong>’s values. Short and succinct descriptions of an employee’s specific actions and<br />
behaviors are better than broad generalizations.<br />
5. The online form cannot be saved while you’re in the process of creating it. We recommend you<br />
draft your answers in a Word document first and then transfer them to the online form when you<br />
have time to complete it in one sitting.<br />
6. Once the form is submitted, you will receive an automatic email reply indicating the form has<br />
been received. A copy of the nomination will automatically be sent to your Org Unit’s Program<br />
Director and Communications Liaison for review and judging. They may follow up with you directly<br />
if they have a question about your submission.<br />

Sample Description:<br />
John Doe is a material handler at the Distribution Center. His job responsibilities include coordinating and<br />

professional judgment.”<br />

Quality 1:<br />
Serve as a Role Model for Outstanding Performance<br />
Why should this employee be singled out as a company‐wide model for performance<br />
(preferably 300‐500 words)<br />
NOTE: In your answer, you should describe how this employee goes above and beyond his/her normal job responsibilities, how<br />
this extra effort makes a difference within your area or the company, what impact this individual has had on the business and<br />
what the specific, measurable outcome has been.<br />
Sample Partial Example for Outstanding Performance:<br />
John Doe is eager to learn and grow, and he volunteers to manage tasks that exceed the responsibilities<br />
of his job description. When John learned that the manager of the Waste‐Not program – SCE’s employee<br />
recycling program – was planning a leave of absence, he asked to be trained to assume the acting<br />
manager role.<br />
In that capacity, John closed down one storage facility and worked with Corporate Resources to design<br />
and construct another. He revised the tracking system the company uses to estimate the amount of<br />
waste that is diverted from landfills. And, he made program information on Portal user‐friendly so that<br />
employees could learn how to dispose of all recyclable waste, not just Waste‐Not items.<br />
By diverting waste from landfills, the Waste‐Not program saved 2,421,271 BTUs in 2007, or the<br />
equivalent of eliminating annual emissions from 145,155 households, etc.<br />

Quality 2:<br />
Serve as a Role Model for Living <strong>Edison</strong> <strong>International</strong>’s Values and Guiding Behaviors<br />
Review <strong>Edison</strong> <strong>International</strong>’s values and guiding behaviors listed on the next page. Please provide a<br />
general description of why this employee should be recognized as a model for living all of our values.<br />
(preferably 300‐500 words)<br />
NOTE: In your answer, be specific. Be sure to cite examples and use stories to show how these behaviors led to better<br />
performance. In other words, don’t just list guiding behaviors – show how the employee lived them. Also, connect the<br />
employee’s actions to their department’s or the company’s priorities.<br />
Sample Partial Example for Living the Values:<br />
John Doe consistently demonstrates that the company’s values are also his own. He is respected by his<br />
team for his attention to detail, honesty and unfaltering focus on high‐quality, tangible results. In the<br />
spirit of Continuous Improvement, John Doe was instrumental in the development of a new system to<br />
accelerate the claims process. The system minimizes the number of times a claims representative has to<br />
access the file.<br />
He always looks for ways to streamline our processes and to incorporate knowledge from lessons learned<br />
into new projects. He respects his peers and looks for ways to collaborate to improve project outcomes.<br />
He meticulously checks his work and is accountable when any questions come up.<br />
The processes and templates he developed for his own use were some of the building blocks of the One<br />
Touch Collection Process, a new program that consolidates this work. He trained his colleagues to apply<br />
the paperless system. Most recently, he trained his successor who is managing the new system that he<br />
pioneered. The new person has demonstrated success in her new role, no doubt in part to John’s careful<br />
transfer of knowledge, etc.<br />

All Org Units will choose a maximum number of finalists proportionate to their employee population<br />

The Winners Judging Team will consist of 13 Org Unit Chairman’s <strong>Award</strong> Program Directors plus a small<br />

Finalists Judging Process<br />
Based on best practices from previous years, we recommend Organizational Units use the follow<br />
process when picking their finalists:<br />
Program Directors should form a selection committee of VPs and/or directors from the departments<br />
represented within the Org Unit to select the finalists for their group.<br />
Members of the Finalist Judging Team should review the award criteria, judging guidelines and FAQs<br />
before reading any of their area’s nominations. Ensure that they have a clear understanding of the<br />
qualities that will distinguish the best entries.<br />
Depending on the number of entries received from the nomination process, they may want to set aside<br />
time on their calendar for the review process.<br />
While reviewing the nominations, consider highlighting or underlining specific examples or anecdotes that<br />
illustrate the award criteria: outstanding performance and living the values and guiding behaviors.<br />

Step 1: Make a quick cut. Identify a select number of entries that stand out as excellent, company‐wide<br />
models. Look for entries that are compelling, demonstrate actions above employees’ regular job<br />
responsibilities, and provide specific stories you would want to retell to your employees.<br />
Generic<br />
Outstanding Performance<br />
“John is the ‘go‐to’ person for our group. People always count<br />
on him to take on tough assignments. He is looked up to by his<br />
peers. His actions make him a great role model for the team.”<br />
Living the Values<br />
“Susan embodies our value of continuous improvement by<br />
ensuring others have the information and context to<br />
succeed.”<br />
Stand‐Out<br />
“When one of our colleagues went on FMLA leave, John<br />
volunteered to take on her work load in addition to his own. He<br />
regularly met with her team to ensure project milestones were<br />
met and provided seamless service to our internal clients. As a<br />
result of his personal initiative, the project remained on time, on<br />
budget despite this unplanned event. His actions have inspired<br />
others to adopt a similar debrief process.”<br />
“Susan inherited a team where the former leader did not<br />
share information, which resulted in poor team<br />
performance and a lot of rework. As soon as Susan took<br />
the helm, she instituted weekly team meetings to share<br />
information. Through these meetings, the team identified<br />
a reporting error that, gone unnoticed, would have put the<br />
company at risk with SOX compliance.”<br />
Step 2: Narrow the field. Rank/prioritize your “stand out” entries. Look for specific, observable behaviors that<br />
support each criterion. Entries should provide anecdotes and examples other employees can learn from. To<br />
help organize the process, you may want to use the ranking table on the following page.<br />
Step 3: Finalize your choices. Choose your top finalists; take notes on why you feel these entries best<br />
exemplify the spirit and purpose of the award. Bring your ranking form and come prepared to discuss your top<br />
choices at the finalist judging committee meeting.<br />
Step 4: Attend the finalist judging meeting. Attendees should discuss their top choices. At that point<br />
the team will determine if any obvious finalists emerge and identify other contenders. Discuss the<br />
strengths and merits of the top entries to reach a decision on the finalists for your area. If clear finalists<br />
do not emerge through a unanimous decision, the team can determine award recipients through a<br />
majority vote. Consider diversity and representation across different job levels and categories (both<br />
represented and non‐represented, field and frontline) in your selection. Our goal is to have strong<br />
participation that represents the full breadth of our employee base.<br />
Step 5: Submit Finalists’ Names. Once the finalists are chosen, they should be ranked. The Program Director<br />
will submit the list of their ranked finalists to Corporate Communications, along with the finalists’ nomination<br />
forms.<br />
The 60 finalists will be vetted through Ethics and Human Resources before they’re submitted to the<br />
Winners Judging Team.<br />
Finalists Recognition<br />
The 60 finalists will be recognized at a Finalist Luncheon in the spring of 2013 Recognition and may also<br />
be mentioned in our company communication vehicles.<br />

Finalists Nomination Ranking Form<br />
List the “stand out” nominees. Check the areas where there are clear examples to illustrate the<br />
criteria. Rank the nominees based on those entries that address both sets of qualities and the<br />
strength of the supporting anecdotes.<br />
