Panelist Profile

Session: ​The Great Reshuffle: The Role of Leadership and Culture in Recruiting and Retaining Top Talent

The Great Resignation, the Great Repositioning, the Big Quit.  Regardless of what we choose to call it, there has no doubt been a profound shift in the employment market post-pandemic, and no industry is immune.  How these challenges play out in industries can vary widely, though, and the importance of leadership and culture are emerging key drivers to how well an industry can weather these changes.  Oil and gas leaders are finding themselves in an especially competitive environment, with shifting public perceptions of oil and gas and other industries luring would-be talent to reconsider a long-term career in oil and gas. Our panelists will dive deeper into these labor market trends and explore the “what” and the “how” of developing a culture that positions the oil and gas industry as an essential and fulfilling career opportunity.
