Our people
Our approach
Our people remain central to our success, with a focus on talent development, employee engagement, and fostering a culture of accountability. By embedding our values through the Group’s ‘Our Way’ behavioural framework, we create a positive and inclusive work culture that drives collaboration, strengthens leadership, and empowers individuals to contribute to our business objectives and shared success. Our initiatives aim to bring our visions and values to life and create a sense of belonging for all of our staff.
Culture
At Ithaca Energy a key focus area is to create a company that we all want to be a part of. 2023 saw the embedding of our vision and values, and the development of our behavioural framework ‘Our Way’.
This was supplemented by the support of our culture ambassador team (CATs). Our CATs are a group of employees who volunteered to support the leadership
team in embedding our vision, values and behaviours.
We continue to focus on our values and bring them to life every day with leadership commitment and communication and by celebrating and recognising employees who live the values, making Ithaca Energy a great place to work.
Employee engagement
Attracting and retaining a skilled, adaptable and diverse workforce is one of our key goals. Ensuring we have an engaged workforce is critical to achieving this goal and our success as an organisation.
We engage with our workforce through a number of well-established forums such as our employee consultation forum, diversity, equity & inclusion network, sports & social committee, culture ambassador team and our team of wellbeing champions. In addition, we share key messages through town halls, interactive ‘LIVE with Leaders’ sessions and with smaller groups in informal sessions such as our breakfasts with our Executive Leadership Team.
Talent development
At Ithaca Energy we recognise that providing employee development opportunities is a key contributor to our goal to attract and retain a skilled, adaptable and diverse workforce. We invest in talent development and took a number of steps this year to provide opportunities for employees to learn and progress.
Our early career talent has grown in recent years through our summer internships and graduate programme, securing a pipeline of talent for the future.
Case study: supporting the next generation
Ithaca Energy is proud to be a longstanding supporter of OPITO’s Oil and Gas Technical Apprenticeship Programme (APTUS).
OPITO’s apprenticeship programme begins with two years of college and in their third and fourth years, apprentices join sponsoring companies to gain two years of practical offshore experience.
In 2024, our Process Operator, Dylan Fettes, who worked on our Captain and Alba assets, was named OEUK’s Apprentice of the Year.
