The Oil and Gas sector is booming, and this fact, coupled with a severe skills crisis, is making it extremely difficult for companies in the sector to recruit and retain staff. The skills crisis is caused by the dual effect of not enough graduates being attracted into the industry whilst existing skilled staff begin to retire in their thousands. So what are companies in this sector doing about it?

Some have set up their own recruitment academies, and many are looking for innovative ways to retain the staff they have, using a variety of motivators, perks and packages.

One factor cited time and time again by employees as a factor motivating them to stay with one employer over another is training. The best employees want control of their own career plans, and to be able to get the best Learning and Development available. Learning and Development, then, has suddenly become a boardroom issue.

Over the last few years, Learning and Development specialists Imajica have worked closely with a number of leading Oil and Gas sector companies to deliver customised Learning and Development systems which retain employees by motivating them, empowering them to manage their own learning, showing them how their personal learning contributes to company performance, and indicating where Learning and Development can take their career.
