Future talent pool<br />

In October <strong>2011</strong>, Chief HR Officer, Gordon<br />

Headley made a presentation at the<br />

Conference of Ghanaian Graduates and<br />

Students of Higher Education in the UK. He<br />

discussed the HR challenges in Ghana’s oil<br />

industry, and participated in a question and<br />

answer session. Reaching out to this<br />

Ghanaian diaspora, many of whom are<br />

completing oil and gas related degrees, helps<br />

<strong>Tullow</strong> to create an understanding of the<br />

Ghanaian oil industry and to listen to their<br />

views and concerns about the development<br />

of the sector in their home country. 268<br />

people from various UK universities attended.<br />

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY<br />

Attendees at conference of Ghanaian Graduates and Students of Higher Education held at Coventry University, UK.<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, one of the Board’s objectives was to improve its visibility<br />

both as a group and as individual Directors. There have been 15<br />

formal ‘Meet the Executive’ sessions around our global offices,<br />

as well as Executive sessions at our Leadership Development<br />

Programme. When visiting local offices, members of the<br />

Executive make time to host Townhall meetings, informal<br />

lunches and Q&A sessions.<br />

Talent management<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, we introduced a process for succession planning and<br />

career development and enhanced our existing global online<br />

appraisal process. This will be fully rolled out in 2012. We<br />

also launched an employee referral scheme in the UK to<br />

complement our internal vacancies board. We continue to<br />

support our ‘T for Talent’ programme. For example, in <strong>2011</strong> we<br />

developed a Well Engineering Development Programme where<br />

17 of our well engineers will undertake a programme to develop<br />

best-in-class skills in this critical area of our business. During<br />

the year, our Learning & Development teams have supported<br />

the development of eLearning training for EHS, Compliance<br />

and Employee Induction. In <strong>2011</strong>, the <strong>Tullow</strong> Leadership<br />

Development Programme was launched with Ashridge<br />

Business School. 123 leaders within <strong>Tullow</strong> have attended<br />

the first module of this training; a four-day session<br />

on what leadership is and means at <strong>Tullow</strong>.<br />

Localisation<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, we further clarified our approach to localisation by<br />

developing a definition and vision, which provides a common<br />

platform for consistent implementation and communication of<br />

our localisation aims. We also recruited a Group Localisation<br />

Manager to lead the development and implementation of our<br />

Group Localisation strategy. In the short-term he is focusing on<br />

working with Business Unit management teams in Ghana and<br />

Uganda to ensure that our localisation agenda in those<br />

countries is executed effectively.<br />
