 ConocoPhillips strives to place the right people, with the right skills, to create the right business results. Today, the energy industry faces two key challenges: attracting a skilled work force that reflects the population of global operations, and providing a flexible yet productive work environment that attracts, develops and retains high-performing employees.
ConocoPhillips has developed a leadership succession management process and engages in mentoring to help identify and cultivate the next generation of talented leaders. The company is currently exploring how best to add to these efforts and to encourage leadership diversity into its succession management process.
In all locations, the company is committed to developing local employment opportunities that provide not only local jobs but also opportunities for development into potential global career assignments. To support this goal, ConocoPhillips has developed talent management teams to ensure consistent development and staffing opportunities worldwide for key disciplines in each business and corporate function. The teams create consistent career maps that outline the skills and expectations for each career path. The teams evaluate staffing on a global basis, to consider qualified candidates from all regions, and review career map promotions, along with training and development, to ensure global consistency.
