The critical role of HR in a post COVID-19 world for energy corporates

As the energy industry looks to what lies ahead, agility, courage and resolve in the face of change will be vital. 

The energy transition will require new skills sets; to better embrace technology and automation around how they operate and to support companies as they transition to new, greener energy futures. 

Human Resource (HR) functions have a central role to play in this process. Having demonstrated how critical they are to a company during the pandemic, there is now a window of opportunity to embed themselves as a core part of any future strategic conversations or indeed as a critical leader in handling external disruptors.

We carried out a series of interviews with HR Professionals from across the sector to understand the common themes that will be vital as companies develop an agile workforce ready to succeed.
