Dear member,?

We start the new year off with a renewed focus on people. It’s no secret that the oil and gas industry has been struggling with a shortage of skilled labor.??In the lead up to our Connected Worker Summit?later this spring, we’ll be bringing you lots of insight and new ideas on how leading oil and gas companies are connecting frontline workers to digital resources to aid onboarding, attract and retain talent and drive efficiency. This week we start with an interview with Mitsubishi Chemicals on they take a “people first” approach to drive Connected Worker adoption.

And in case you didn’t catch it at the end of last year, don’t miss our transcript of OGGN’s interview with Shell North America President Gretchen Watkins, recorded live at our recent Operational??Excellence summit. In the interview, Watkins talks?about how Shell plans to balance energy security and affordability while meeting global targets to decarbonize, the role of operational excellence, and addressing the industry’s talent shortage.?
