Transforming energy starts with people

Why sustainable workforces are the future of the energy and power industry

Building a workforce for the future in an era of volatility

Many firms within the energy and power sectors are developing their vision for the future and prioritising a move towards decarbonisation and renewables.

As they go through this transition, they have to navigate a multitude of new challenges. One issue connects all of these factors: people — more specifically, workforces.

The energy and power sectors have sometimes struggled to tap into the expanded talent pool open to inclusive and diverse organisations. And with employee groups increasingly prioritising ESG credentials in their career choices, it can be a challenge to attract the people they need to replace an ageing workforce.

The existence of these human capital challenges at this transformational moment for the industry adds a layer of complexity to the journey of energy and power organisations.
