The great crew change is upon us....once again. According to Oil and Gas Monitor, 71% of people working in the oil and gas industry is over the age of 50. That means the average age of skilled employees may retire or get laid off within the next five to 10 years. Because it takes two to five years to become familiar with the industry and another 10 or more years to take on a leadership position, pipeline operators, exploration or production geologists, who depend on skilled, long-term workers are feeling the pinch. As valuable people retire or get laid off, valuable knowledge leaves with them.
Often that knowledge is not encoded in documentation produced on the job. How companies transfer and manage this hand-off is critical to their ongoing success. In the Kenetic Resource and Workforce Management for Oil and Gas: Designing Effective Knowledge Transfer and Workforce Planning Programs course, they train operators on the major steps in discovering transfer gaps as well as the processes to build organizational and departmental knowledge. Key take-a-ways include: - Processes to identify and prioritize critical organizational knowledge - Techniques to capture critical processes - Several approaches to transferring knowledge, through every generational transition from Baby Boomers to Millennials - How to create a work environment that fosters knowledge sharing between generations - Strategies to address different working styles while reducing employee tension and improving productivity - Methods to incorporate knowledge transfer into training programs
