When I started working here, I felt privileged to have the opportunity to work and learn from some of the greatest experts in their field. Now I wonder if Shell is doing anything to retain the talent here?

I thought T&S was where the money's at and that T&S got additional T&S specific bonuses beyond the annual Shell bonus. Did they take that away?
I work at Exxon and it is the same thing over there ....
T&S is the worst! I wonder why they keep wasting our time with these employee surveys. They do the exact opposite of what the surveys show the employees want or are feeling or care about. I've heard people in other areas of Shell think T&S is a sweat shop.
The biggest waste of that CEO ironically still has his job! What a toothless board Shell has!
OP- Shell went from a meritocracy to a woke DEI culture. Look around you and see where and why the talent has left this toxic culture. I’m fortunate to have seen it when times were good, and gladly took my package.
Do a "test" interview somewhere for fun and see what the market thinks you're worth and compare it to what Shell thinks you're worth.
You might be surprised. I was.
HR really has no clue what the labor market is like today.
Care about talent! It is obvious they do not, just look at who they promote into leadership.
Lol! You think Shell cares about talent?!?!?
They care about external reputation and shareholder returns.... shareholder returns is a distant second after 2020.
What in the past 10 years makes you think they care about talent? No retention bonuses, poor track record of progressions, no/low bonus and no inflation adjustments, etc. I have zero data they care about talent or retention.
Agreed; I work in trading and supply and this segment is feeling the pinch too. Shell's total pay has lagged, and we've lost folks to traditional utilities, generation developers etc. Recently, we lost a 19 yr employee who was not compensated for a large transaction they brokered. That, plus the impediments of making deals (KYC, offshoring of support teams) lead the person to exit to a competitor.
Shell PLC wants more, more, more but pay and benefits trend towards just average. This is to say nothing of the culture--inefficient, bloated and lumbering.
You get what you "pay" for!
