INDUSTRY LEADERS
Nicole Kirwan-Ward,
Regional Director for Asia, Energy Resourcing
I was this little eight-year-old going into the office with her dad on Saturdays, and I remember colouring all the piping designs with my colour highlighters, said Miss
Nicole Kirwan-Ward, Regional Director for Asia at Energy Resourcing.
It was just really normal behaviour for me, and I loved it! and decades on, that enthusiasm hasnt seemed to die out as she indulges in a little nostalgia. It seemed only
fitting that she would tread the same path as her father, who was in the industry himself.
one size fits all, it just doesnt work, as Miss Kirwan-Ward speaks about the companys business approach.
What we offer to our Clients is heavily customised to meet their needs so they feel that theyre actually
being listened to, and that they are getting someone that actually goes yes we understand what you want,
added Miss Kirwan-Ward.
This approach has been serving them well, but Energy Resourcing is not resting on their laurels just yet.
The company has spent the last work year reassessing and in the words of Miss Kirwan-Ward, Energy
Resourcing has worked on making everything really schmick.
Internal capability is at an all-time high and come this year, Clients of Energy Resourcing can expect
even more. With teams in the United States, Europe, Korea and Australia, Clients will have the benefit and
assurance that a service provider like Energy Resourcing will be able to track projects globally and move
with them, offering the same high level of service in every location.
Moving forward, this will be a big year for Energy Resourcing and all its partners. The positives from
last year coupled with the successes of internal reviews are already starting to bear fruit. With bigger
Client bases together with the implementation of powerful new integrated systems, Energy Resourcing is
expecting a great year ahead.
We now have the capacity to provide more of exactly the same type of services that were already offering,
but be smarter about it as well and also probably give our new Clients more confidence that we are the
right choice for them, claims Miss Kirwan-Ward.
Miss Nicole Kirwan-Ward may not be colouring piping designs with colour highlighters anymore, but
together with Energy Resourcings Asian businesses, she is now adding colour to the lives and projects in
the industry.
About Energy Resourcing: Energy Resourcing provides recruitment services that address our Clients contracting and permanent staffing requirements. We supply engineering, technical, project management
and essential support personnel for all stages of a project lifecycle including Pre-FEED; FEED; Detailed Design; Commissioning / Completions; Operations and Maintenance. Our particular areas of recruitment focus include:

Ask any World Cup fan what elite football teams can teach the business world
and theyll likely mention teamwork, the need for a winning mentality or the
importance of a game plan. Theyre unlike to mention talent management, but
thats precisely what employers and HR managers should take away from worldclass sporting teams, says recruiting experts Hays in Singapore.
Recruitment is about getting the right people in the right positions, says
Christine Wright, Operations Director of Hays in Asia. Its also precisely what
the top football teams do so well. Talent management is at the heart of competitive
organisations that are focused on high performance whether thats on the
football pitch or in the business world.
The winning sporting teams excel at talent management. They work with
recruiters to employ the right people, then develop them and put a retention plan
in place. The principles of great HR are more deeply embedded than you may
expect, she said.
So what can World Cup teams teach us about recruitment and retention? According
to Hays, they build a winning team on and off the pitch by implementing:
A structure for success: They often have a holistic approach. Every department
is clear on their area of responsibility but can also work collaboratively to
strengthen decision-making and retain the nimbleness required in a fast-paced
sporting (or business) world.
A succession plan: As well as recruiting the right people for today, the top
sporting teams also recruit entry-level professionals. Theyll train and develop
these players to ensure they have a well-stocked talent pipeline and a consistent
culture across the workforce both in terms of current players as well as future
stars. Its a classic example of succession planning that will be familiar to any HR
director.
A retention strategy: As in any organisation, a sporting teams players need
stability and continuity to remain engaged and happy at work. Whether its the
top talent on the football field, or the top talent in the boardroom, people who
excel in their role will be courted by other employers offering attractive rewards.
Thats why top sporting teams attempt to provide a compelling reason for talent to
stay. Competitive salaries, support for learning and development and clear career
paths are all significant factors in ensuring loyalty - on the field and off.
Great recruiters: As in the business world, when it comes time to recruit their
next star player top sporting teams rely on great recruiters who are highly skilled,
well connected, motivated and well briefed. These recruiters research potential
players and review and analyse all aspects of their suitability as your recruiter
will do when recruiting for your business.
