Case Study: a mid-cap oil and gas company boosts employee career development satisfaction with Slalom

An oil and gas company finds new ways to attract top talent

Slalom partnered with an oil and gas company facing significant industry headwinds and a talent retention crisis. The client needed to attract and retain top technical workers by creating a transparent career development strategy, as employees lacked clear growth paths and managers were unequipped to guide them.

Slalom developed and piloted a comprehensive suite of career development tools and processes, which included career maps, development matrices, and a centralized portal. This solution represented a major cultural shift, supported by extensive training and change management. Following the pilot, Slalom measured a 41% increase in employee satisfaction with career development, validating the new approach and leading to a full organizational rollout.
