Uncomfortable Situations Accelerate Our Growth
Abstract One of the most crucial tasks that is entrusted upon any leader is the development of the Company’s most important asset, their people. The more proficiently and technically apt the team are, the more they effectively implement their job functions, excel in their career and ultimately serve to maintain business continuity. An effective program titled ‘MASAR’ has been developed to enhance and upscale the Health Safety and Environment (HSE) team’s knowledge and skills to meet our mandates and increase demand. The oil and gas industries are continuously adapting to the world’s trends and needs. Artificial intelligence is currently creating a worldwide innovative disruption, as historically proven, any organization or individuals that aren’t ready adapt to the arising technologies or strategies they will be left behind and their success and demand will diminish. The important trait of adaptability requires you to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I have repeatedly witnessed this fundamental attribute be the reason for success in others and within myself. One of the main functions of MASAR is to drive employees into unfamiliar and uneasy situations which results in accelerated growth in all facets of their work. It achieves the successful outcome by targeting four fundamental pillars of mobility, attachments, Professional Certifications, and enrollment in training courses. A comprehensive assessment process has been established which contains 25 elements for analysis in order to detect the most beneficial pillar to enhance the development of the workforce. MASAR has directly acted as an established guideline in promoting employees within the organization by early identification of their gaps and implementing an effective approach towards addressing weaknesses and expanding their knowledge, experience and exposure.
