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 />
