Attracting key talent
The most significant success factor for DNO in the future will be having people with the right competence. Therefore, we strive to create a work environment that attracts key talents through a range of initiatives:
- We provide a well-conceived benefits package
- We are responsive to employee needs
- We constantly focus on our ability to remain competitive
- We continuously develop skills and competencies for the individual's satisfaction and career possibilities
We see that running a responsible business, and communicating that we do so, increasingly is a necessity to remain a preferred employer in the future.
Local content
DNO operates in various cultures, and diversity in the workforce is a consideration in the development of DNO’s business.
We prefer to hire locally when possible, to gain local insights and knowledge. To create and foster an inclusive work environment characterized by job satisfaction and opportunities, is what we strive to achieve. We particularly focus on building and developing our local capability in new markets. In all our operations, we respect employees’ right to freedom of association and collective bargaining in compliance with local laws.
Dialogue and feedback
DNO encourages an open dialogue and employs several feedback mechanisms. An annual employee attitude survey is our most important tool when mapping the conditions in the Company, and we use the results from this survey to verify that we are moving in the right direction.
Employee development
In order to meet our obligations towards our employees, we systematically work on a long-term basis in a number of areas, including the following:
- Develop overall competence, including improvement of management capacity
- Balance the composition of our staff; encourage local hiring, diversity and inclusiveness
- Communication at all levels and between all units
- Involvement with all employees, especially before, during and after major restructuring processes
- Employee representative arrangements in various forms, primarily trade unions and work councils
Training and capacity building
Through education, training and skills development, DNO capitalises on all employee competence. Additionally, our approach to competence building embraces hands on skills development that occurs mainly during work and participation in projects.
