Retention efforts remain critical

摘要

Priorities shift quickly in today's dynamic business environment. This year's headlines about oil and gas workforce reductions, and company restructurings, have replaced story lines that previously highlighted critical skill shortages and lucrative compensation packages. A 2015 Mercer survey of 154 oil and gas organizations, within the U.S., Canada and Mexico, found that 16% of respondents may reduce staff, and 32% plan to decrease the "buying" of external talent. These results are in contrast to Mercer's early 2014 survey, in which 66% of survey respondents cited the "buying" of external talent as their top talent management strategy.
