A compelling culture
How we do our work is what sets us apart and drives our performance. As our industry evolves, we need a workforce equipped to address new opportunities and challenges. Our success depends on our people. Effectively engaging, developing and rewarding our employees is a priority for us. Together, we deliver strong performance while embracing our core cultural attributes.
At an enterprise level, we foster a performance-based culture to unlock success through:
- Performance management: All employees receive a “what” and a “how” rating as part of our performance management process. These distinct ratings hold our workforce and our leaders accountable for performance and behaviors, including those that contribute to an inclusive culture.
- Recognition: We offer multiple tools for employee and team recognition for outstanding performance. Our supervisor- and employee-driven internal recognition program, The Mark Award, enables employees to recognize their peers for individual accomplishments through monetary and nonmonetary awards for going above and beyond in their day-to-day work or completing significant project milestones. In addition, the company hosts the annual SPIRIT of Performance Awards that celebrate teams and individuals that demonstrate excellence and impact.
- Employee engagement surveys: We measure and assess employee satisfaction and engagement through ConocoPhillips’ Perspectives surveys. Our leaders review the survey feedback to guide priorities and goals. We transparently share our survey results internally with all employees and look for incremental progress on key drivers of employee satisfaction over time. We compare our results with global and industry benchmark data to understand our competitive position and provide transparency on our internal metrics against our peers.
- Employee Resource Groups: We sponsor broad participation in our Employee Resource Groups and align their work to specific focus areas — such as increasing access to leaders and expanding development opportunities — that add value to both employees and the company. Participation in our Employee Resource Groups is voluntary and open to all employees.
