May 11, 2008 - Growing tensions about the state of the world’s natural resources workforces have surfaced for a few stark reasons. These include the industry’s increased appetite for skilled workers, the ongoing challenge of convincing enough university students to pursue energy-related careers and the considerable demographic shift that is beginning to move the global post-war generation into retirement.
The perspectives of the TRANSEARCH global Resources, Energy and Infrastructure practice leaders frame the challenges ahead in the White Paper entitled 'Under Pressure: Natural Resources Human Capital - Perspectives from Transearch International' which presents a strikingly similar long-term growth barrier for nearly all of the world’s leading natural resources companies – that is, the scarcity of human capital and skilled leadership talent.
The White Paper presents regional perspectives from North America, South Africa, India and Latin America and addresses key issues such as new pressures that are being driven by the acceleration of the so-called commodities market “super-cycle”, human capital deficits resulting from massive and sustained increases in demand for natural resource commodities, and significant market shifts from government-controlled natural resources to the private sector.
