What the energy industry needs to power through winds of change

Sun, sky and sea. While these elements may evoke memories of beach vacations, they also power the switch toward renewable energy. The energy and natural resources (ENR) industry is at the helm of this transition, with many organizations in the sector beginning to invest, use or produce energy through greener means like wind, solar or biofuel, according to a WTW analysis of energy companies. At the same time, these organizations are taking steps to reduce pollutions and the industry’s carbon footprint through methods like curbing methane emissions and embarking on carbon capture/utilization/storage projects.

These changes make it essential that the ENR industry maintains – and potentially expands – its talent pipeline. And this is particularly true after the talent downturn the industry experienced in 2020 when talent fled to other industries to avoid volatility in the sector. To drive talent attraction and retention, the ENR industry is employing multiple strategies.
