Leading executive search firm releases whitepaper on Natural Resources Human Capital

Released on: May 10, 2008, 5:12 am

Press Release Author: Transearch International

Industry: Human Resources

Press Release Summary: The perspectives of the TRANSEARCH global Resources, Energy
and Infrastructure practice leaders frame the challenges following growing tensions
about the state of the world's natural resources workforces.

Press Release Body: The perspectives of the TRANSEARCH global Resources, Energy and
Infrastructure practice leaders frame the challenges ahead in the White Paper
entitled \'Under Pressure: Natural Resources Human Capital - Perspectives from
Transearch International\' which presents a strikingly similar long-term growth
barrier for nearly all of the world's leading natural resources companies - that is,
the scarcity of human capital and skilled leadership talent.

The White Paper presents regional perspectives from North America, South Africa,
India and Latin America and addresses key issues such as new pressures that are
being driven by the acceleration of the so-called commodities market "super-cycle",
human capital deficits resulting from massive and sustained increases in demand for
natural resource commodities, and significant market shifts from
government-controlled natural resources to the private sector.

Growing tensions about the state of the world's natural resources workforces have
surfaced for a few stark reasons. These include the industry's increased appetite
for skilled workers, the ongoing challenge of convincing enough university students
to pursue energy-related careers and the considerable demographic shift that is
beginning to move the global post-war generation into retirement.
