“In Shell it is a very open culture. You can contact the senior leaders very easily. Any time I can knock on their door to talk about my career development and they can give you advice. My line manager is very accessible. We talk about my strengths and weaknesses, how I have developed. I have the individual development programme. We plan out my goals and performance appraisal for the year and that aims to close up my weaknesses and develop on my strengths.”

“Shell is not shy in giving recognition to employees who have done well in contributing to the company. I’m particularly pleased with a project I have worked on to improve the capacity of the high margin unit by 5% and for that the company had generously given me recognition from the regional vice president. I’m particularly happy with the sense of satisfaction that I’ve gotten from achieving this project.”

“The nice thing is that Shell gives out learning subsidies to their employees so that we can pick up something that is of interest to us outside of work. I have chosen to take up Japanese classes and that keeps me motivated. It is something that I look forward to at the end of each week.”
