Training, recruiting and retaining the talent needed to deliver the new global energy system will require comprehensive employee development strategies that prioritise building skills, developing talent, and embracing innovation. By investing in structured training and certification programmes that align with both individual aspirations and organisational needs, the energy sector has an opportunity to enhance employee engagement and future-proof the workforce of tomorrow. Employers that embrace and invest in their employees will maximise their chances of creating cultures in which energy professionals feel valued, engaged, and a sense of shared responsibility. What’s more, the organisations that prioritise employee development are most likely to foster trust and attract talented individuals who are passionate about making an impact. In today’s ultra-competitive recruitment market, these factors are more important than ever.
