CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE Training in the Oil, Gas and Chemical Industry

摘要

Go into any local nursing home and you will most likely find there in the lounge four women sitting at a card table playing one of several games, possibly a game of bridge. Now everyone knows not to bother these ladies, because they take their game very seriously. As they play day after day, they form a social clique keeping most out of their social circle. Then one day, without notice, one of them goes missing. The game comes to a grinding halt until they can find the next replacement that meets their social requirements. In the meantime, the game has stopped. If these ladies had only planned ahead to find alternatives and developed future players, then their game would never come to a screeching halt. How does this example relate to the business world of hiring and training? If you don't plan and set a strategy to bring in new hires and train them on all the various nuances and inter-workings of your company the business flow could come to a stop. This may actually be happening before many companies realize it due to the current status of the workforce.
