Trends in Oil & Gas Talent Management

A big chunk of my career was spent in Oil & Gas... and many of my clients are in Oil & Gas. The last few years have not been kind to the industry or the people that work in or adjacent to it.

Here's an article I wrote in LinkedIn that summarizes the trends I heard in recent O&G talent management discussions:

The takeaways:

• Hiring, training & development can't be deferred by the industry much longer.

• Awareness of corporate culture - and the need for cultures to shift - is critical to the success of companies as the market and work environment continue to evolve.

• Companies in the O&G space need to develop the persuasive communication skills all of their leaders to lead that change.
