| description | As the Australian oil and gas industry faces a continued shortage of skilled employees, increasing the representation of
women in this industry is a business imperative. Economic success and competitive advantage may depend on attracting
and retaining the skills of women.
This extended abstract presents the current picture of women in oil and gas in Australia, with comparisons drawn to
Canada and Norway. The focus is on current research related to female participation in the sector and the initiatives
being undertaken to improve this across the international context. The paper concludes with a case study about the key
success factors and challenges in establishing “Women@Clough” - a corporate initiative to increase female participation at
Clough Limited. |
