ANNUAL REPORT - The Petroleum Institute

A year of transformation, growth and success
recruitment along with the Employee
Relations activities. This section is the first
point of contact for recruitment and employee
benefits.
Policy & Compensation: This section, with
two employees, is a new development that
arose as a result of payroll activities being
transferred from the Finance department. We
have been focusing on the Policy Manual, on
documenting procedures and on introducing
new allowances/policies/procedures and
establishing salary structures.
Capabilities Development: This is also a
new section, formed to meet training needs,
employee development, and the assessment
of employees as per job requirements. This
department has four employees.
Organization Development: This is yet another
new section which focuses on manpower
planning, job evaluation and the preparation
of job descriptions.
Activities Focused On Employee
Retention
Several measures have been taken to ensure
employee welfare and satisfaction. The
modification of housing, education and air
fare benefits for female employees was a
significant step in this regard.
IV. Future Plans
The plan to create an HR Helpdesk is on the
table. Once it is operational, the Helpdesk will
enable us to log all our activities and provide
higher quality services as well as track and
reduce any delays. The Helpdesk will also
function as a tool for performance evaluation.
“Leave no vacancies unfilled” is one of the
highlights of our HR strategy. Procedures that
are vital to timely hiring will be streamlined
and amended as necessary.
