Energy Workforce Opportunities in the New Economic Climate

摘要

Just as consumers have become wallet vigilant, so too are energy companies. And given that energy companies cannot control demand destruction, commodity costs, or payment consistency, that leaves projects and labor costs as the target rich environment for cost control. Contract-to-permanent is a viable solution whether your strategy is progressive on workforce development or if you are simply in cost control mode. Outsourcing in a partnership mode with internal HR is the quickest way to capture what maybe a short term opportunity. This eliminates the ramp rate of hiring internal recruiters, contract coordinators, training coordinators and other gaps to timely implementation. Assuming there is a need to either address a retiring work force, renewable mandates or potentially a government backed windfall of activities, any way you look it, there is a need to invest in a workforce strategy.
