Case Study: Valerus Career Academy achieves stronger talent retention and development with Tribridge

Valerus Career Academy Managing Big Talent at the Mid-Market Level

Valerus Career Academy, part of Valerus, was struggling to attract, develop, and retain skilled employees in a highly competitive oil and gas market. Turnover had surged to 31% in 2011, and the company needed a better way to manage performance, succession, and learning to support its growth plans, including a future IPO. Valerus turned to Tribridge and Cornerstone OnDemand to help address these talent challenges.

Tribridge helped Valerus implement an integrated talent management approach through Valerus Career Academy, including performance management, succession planning, and learning tools, along with manager training and employee engagement programs. The results were strong: turnover dropped from 31% in 2011 to 6% in 2012, revenues increased 74%, safety metrics reached world-class levels, and Valerus earned Best Place to Work in Houston recognition.
