Energy & Natural Resources

Approximately half of the energy industry’s workforce will retire within the next decade. As the current workforce heads into retirement, the energy industry must recruit and retain fresh talent. With nearly 1.9 million job opportunities in the oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries through 2035, there’s a vast opportunity for the industry to develop lifelong careers for a younger workforce.

We can help your organization build its next generation of leaders. We work with you to prepare for this talent shift by mobilizing and developing the talent that exists and anticipating and acquiring the talent that is needed. We also help you attract young professionals through learning and development and opportunities for career progression. We use our tools and assessments to help you determine what future leaders will look like and how that differs from current leadership, so you can formulate a strategy for recruiting and developing tomorrow’s talent.

There’s a huge talent gap in many sectors of the energy industry when it comes to the recruitment of women and underrepresented groups. And a strong commitment to creating a diverse, inclusive workplace is a significant factor in attracting and retaining top talent.

Our energy consultants can help you create diversity and inclusion strategies that appeal to younger candidates—closing the gap on talent and skills shortages. Given our global reach, we help you source, recruit, engage and develop diverse talent, even in the scarcest of markets. We work with your business to assess its opportunities to build fair and equitable talent management structures and processes. We also help create high-impact career advancement programs for underrepresented talent.

A significant tech skills gap is stalling progress towards digitalization in the energy industry. And younger generations are reluctant to join the energy sector because they believe it lacks innovation. As a result, it’s difficult for energy employers to attract STEM students who are often drawn to other fields they perceive to be tech-driven.

We help organizations chart a course toward successful digital transformation by showing them how to recruit, develop, and retain the right talent. We offer assessments and success profiles that help businesses in the energy sector define their talent strategy, then guide their development, succession and promotion decisions.
