People: Our approach

 

The context

BG Group’s ability to create sustainable shareholder value depends on the extent to which we are able to recruit, motivate and retain employees with a diverse range of skills. To do this, we require:

  • a competitive approach to remuneration;
  • learning and development programmes that provide routes to enhance employees’ careers;
  • a commitment to diversity;
  • a focus on recruitment from within our host countries and communities, where possible;
  • a positive reputation as a responsible employer that people are proud to work for; and
  • workplaces that are free from bullying, discrimination and harassment of any kind.
 
 

Our response

Business Principles:

  • We treat people with fairness, respect and decency
  • We help employees develop their potential

We believe that our competitive advantage is derived as much from our people – who they are, and how they do their work – as from our low-cost, long-life asset base and attractive and growing opportunity set.

BG Group is committed to recruiting, promoting and rewarding our employees on merit. We are committed to the avoidance of discrimination and we do not tolerate harassment of any kind.

Our recruitment strategy is to identify the right person, at the right time, for the right job. We aim to provide:

  • effective training;
  • transparent, objective and fair opportunities for career advancement, informed by clear feedback through an annual employee performance review; and
  • compensation and benefits options with sufficient flexibility to allow employees to tailor aspects of their total reward package to suit their personal circumstances.
