MANAGING HUMAN RESOURCES by Susan Jackson, Randall Schuler, Steve
Warner

Schlumberger uses a competency inventory that helps the company keep track of
its talent around the world. Its core values are simple : people who thrive on the
challenge of excelling in any environment and who are dedicated to safety and
customer service worldwide, a commitment to technology, and a determination
to produce superior profits. As described in the Management with metrics
feature, Schlumberger, the company has invested significant resources in
developing its talent pool. Schlumberger strives to use that talent wisely and to
retain the people whose development it has invested in. Employees document
their competencies by filling out a career networking profile. Schlumbergers
engineers appreciate having opportunities to develop and move up throughout
their careers, and CEO Andrew Gould seems to understand the value of keeping
the people pipeline filled.
At an organization like Schlumberger, technological changes occur so
rapidly that traditional job analysis is all but impossible. And increasingly, job
requirements are hard to specify because companies expect employees to do
whatever the customer wants.

Case Schlumbergers innovative HR strategy in HR 3 Angelo Denisi,

Ricky Griffin
Schlumberger, being an energy related industry depends heavily on a steady
inflow of new employees. But an aging workforce and an unevenly distributed of
talent supply continues to create challenges. For instance, there is a significant
shortage of Geosciences and Petroleum Engineering student in both North
America and the Middle East- the very regions where more people are needed.
More than 40 years ago, Schlumberger adopted an aggressive and
innovative human resource strategy that is based on diversity and partnership
with colleges and universities. As a result, the firm has long hired in every
country where it operates. In addition, it took a geocentric approach to all of its
global assignments, hiring the best people regardless of where they are from and
moving them to work assignments that are mutually beneficial regardless of the
location of those assignments. Schlumberger also established a long-term
emphasis on hiring and developing female engineers.
As a result of these efforts, Schlumberger has maintained a human
resource advantage over many of its key competitors. But these same
competitors have shown creativity of their own as they, too, have taken a more
global and integrated approach to human resource management. For one thing,
other firms in the industry often look to current Schlumberger employees when
they need to recruit experienced people.
To maintain the competitive advantage Schlumberger gets from its
workforce, the firm continues to develop and implement new systems, policies,
and practices to retain the strong workforce it has attracted. For example, a
rigorous, comprehensive training and development program helps keep its
engineers at the forefront of their fields. Competitive salaries and performance-
based incentive help retain the best and brightest of its employees, and well-
defined career paths help Schlumberger continue to grow and nourish the talent
it needs to thrive in an increasing competitive world.

4. Our greatest strength is our diverse workforce. Working with men and
women from different backgrounds creates a community with diverse
knowledge, where our differences give way to new ideas and
innovative thinking.
5. I work with smart, motivated, ethical peopleand that's not easy to find
everywhere. Schlumberger has created a culture of team excellence in
which there are high expectations of you but there is also a
commitment on Schlumberger's part to continuously support and
mentor each and everyone of its people.
In the spirit of stimulating personal and professional growth of its
people, Schlumberger conduct regular training that I have benefitted
tremendously from, particularly training in technical knowledge and soft
skills development. This invaluable investment in people has helped to
accelerate my evolvement towards becoming a well-equipped finance
professional.
There is never a dull moment here at Schlumberger as the days
can vary pretty dramatically. Some days I have large blocks of time to
work on tasks on my own. Other days, I'm working entirely with my team.
The variability of my days and the challenges keep me on my toes and
passionate about progressing my career here at Schlumberger.

Schlumbergers performance appraisal consists of three pages of
writing and filling in the boxes, and one page to define terms. The review
process has been structured by regression analysis that weigh each aspect of
performance with mathematical value, to imposing forced ranking salary
administration groups, to conducting month by month write-ups that really
diminish halo and critical incident effects.
