Oil & Gas is one of North America's leading economic forces. But the industry is facing several challenges. Production, transportation, carbon emission limits, and health, safety, and security concerns are just some of the barriers the industry needs to overcome. Companies wishing to remain relevant and successful in the years ahead need to bolster and secure their processes and fortify their workforces.
The oil and gas industry is evolving. As the US and players around the world position themselves to recover and thrive after the health, environmental, and socio-economic challenges of 2020, we see several interesting trends emerging. Here we will focus on three of the trends that experts have recognized and discuss the impacts of these shifts on staffing.

Although always an important consideration in oil and gas workplaces, there is an increased focus on employee well-being in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Two emerging trends we can expect to see are:
Rapidly increasing technological needs, an aging workforce, and an abundance of opportunities in the industry have left many employers struggling to build and maintain a sufficiently skilled labor force. For companies needing to attract and retain adequately trained or specialized talent, they will need to consider:
Many oil and gas companies are exploring the possibilities for automation in their workflow. Robotics can be utilized in wastewater disposal, drill pipes, machinery repair, and more. The benefit of automation is a reduction of labor costs and an increase in productivity, but this progression will also require employers to shift and refine their labor force. These shifts include streamlining staff to have more specific roles and expanding their workforce to include engineers, mechanics, and software specialists to support the new technologies.
The oil and gas companies that will emerge successful in 2021 and beyond are those that are diligently working to build a strong, skilled, adaptable, and dependant workforce. One of the best strategies is to partner with a staffing company that delivers knowledgeable and reliable talent acquisition solutions.
