Workforce Integration in EG

Marathon has made significant progress in the recruitment, training and development of our workforce in Equatorial Guinea. Today national employees make up approximately 70 percent of the workforce. This includes 20 percent of managers and supervisors, 52 percent of professionals and 42 percent of operations technical employees.

In 2010 alone, 19 professionals were hired, including some who attended college on Company-sponsored scholarships. In contrast, the labor pool was largely unskilled when we acquired production interests on Bioko Island in 2002.

Building a highly skilled workforce to meet our business needs started with English language and other pre-vocational education, followed by the addition of technical training. By 2010, Marathon had established comprehensive recruiting, training and development programs to prepare Equatoguineans for careers in all aspects of our operations in EG. In addition to people with technical skills, we are working to hire professionals for accounting, supply chain, HES and other disciplines.

From 2007-2010, Equatoguineans in manager, supervisor and professional roles increased from 24 to 65, and we shifted our focus to accelerating their development. One activity that helps national employees pick up the pace of skills acquisition and career advancement is our Leadership Skills Development Program (LSDP) launched in 2010.

The course blends training, projects, assigned readings, career planning and mentorship. Participants receive one-on-one coaching and take 90 hours of core and specialized skills training courses ranging from goalsetting to conflict resolution. Based on the progress of the first 24 participants, we are planning the second LSDP class.

In 2010, we provided 28 international assignments for engineering, finance, human resources and IT professionals. They spent 30-60 days with a host mentor in our Houston headquarters to attend training not available in EG, receive certifications and learn about other parts of the Company.
