Woodside Energy champions inclusion and diversity as essential to strategic vision.
SUCCESS STORY
As Woodside Energy grows their business, they remain dedicated to inclusion and diversity as part of their foundation for the overall development of their global team. From recruitment to retention, their people-first approach to business creates an environment where every employee feels empowered, safe, and supported to do their best work. With the help of their long-term strategic partnership with LinkedIn, they’ve been able to continue these efforts and grow their employer brand in the process. This allows them to discover, attract and hire diverse talent, provide extensive learning opportunities, and ensure their employees’ voices are heard.
THE CHALLENGE
Maintaining a culture of inclusivity across a growing global workforce
Woodside Energy believes inclusion and diversity is key to creating a work culture that attracts the right people and provides the diversity of thought necessary to achieve their long-term goals. As their business and global workforce continues to grow, their inclusion and diversity efforts need to keep pace. This includes enhancing their robust training initiatives, finding new ways to attract talent from a more diverse range of communities, and maintaining an open dialogue with employees to inform continuous improvement.
THE SOLUTION
Expanded recruitment and easy-access, learning and measurement tools
To build upon their commitment to fair and equitable hiring, Woodside Energy created a highly successful employer brand campaign that leverages LinkedIn Recruiter to help increase the number of female applicants and more gender balanced candidate pools, contributing to more balanced recruitment outcomes. Continuing their emphasis on learning and skills development, they built an all-employee leadership program called Navigator to educate and ensure inclusive leadership and behaviors are embedded throughout the organization culture. As an organization focused on continuous improvements, they use company-wide surveys through Glint to gather employee feedback. Through the data insights, they address the needs of their workforce. They have provided the opportunity to employees to complement existing face to face and virtual training and development courses with LinkedIn Learning Hub’s range of content on inclusion and diversity.
