8. Coping with the dwindling talent pool
Bring intelligence to your operations
“The industry is likely to require 25,000 additional professionals
in the next five years due to business growth and retirement or attrition
in the sector. In line with the global trend, the average age of the workforce
in the Indian Oil & Gas sector is high.
Around 50% of employees have more than 20 years of experience and the
majority are due to retire in the next 5 to10 years.”
