Purpose Statement:
Many businesses are larger, some have more customers, but few touch as many lives as we do. We are fortunate for the opportunities this affords us for citizenship in the communities we serve. Our Facebook presence is another extension of this.

This site is maintained by Southern Company Recruiters to share the Southern Company employment experience, culture, and our values with you. In turn we hope you will share your questions, experiences, and comments regarding Southern Company with us.

Company Use of Content:
Southern Company commits to using this site for information sharing only. Southern Company respects your privacy and will not review or use an individual's Facebook page or personal information housed on a page for hiring decisions.

Adding and Removing Content:
Discretion is a good rule of thumb. If it's something you wouldn't say at work, or a picture you wouldn't show at work, then it's probably not a good idea to share it on the company or group page. Inappropriate comments and photos will be removed.

Target Zero

Safety first!! A few years ago we adopted
Target Zero, aimed at instilling individual
responsibility for safety. Now, all large employee meetings start with a safety briefing – for jobs with a higher risk of injury, it’s how they start each shift. We like to remind our employees of how important they are to the company, their families and coworkers.

Every Southern Company employee is reminded often that working safely is a requirement. For every job:

  • We identify hazards and determine how to avoid them.
  • We go over safety details with all employees who will perform the work.
  • While working, we watch out for each other and start corrective actions if we see unsafe conditions.
  • Reporting safety concerns is rewarded and protected!

In all of 2007, the 334 employees at Plant Miller in Alabama had zero accidents – either personally or in vehicle accidents. They serve as a good example of a large employee group achieving Target Zero. In total, more than 25,700 of nearly 26,800 employees across our system achieved Target Zero. In 2008 we met our recordable incidence rate target and approached our lost workday rate target - both considerable improvements over past years. See performance for details.
