BP respects the rights and dignity of all employees. Everyone who works for BP contributes to our success.

Working together, drawing from our diverse talents and perspectives, we stimulate new and creative opportunities for our business, generate a more exciting and rewarding work environment and help every employee feel responsible for the performance and reputation of our company.

As a BP employee, you'll know what's expected of you in your job. Team leaders provide a clear view of business goals and your part in meeting them. You'll receive open and constructive feedback about your job performance in an annual career discussion, and you'll be encouraged to play an active part in shaping your career by creating a personal development plan. Through an electronic internal job posting system, you can to apply for available BP jobs.

Continued growth and career development

Because BP recognizes the mutual benefit of employees' continued growth and career development, the company offers a number of programs to help enrich the work experience. In addition to offering the Educational Assistance Program, BP emphasizes learning and career development resources to build relevant skills. Specific training opportunities vary by business and location.

We believe that we have a responsibility to invest in the development of each and every community in which we do business. Our behavior – our compliance with business values, our impact on people and our overall contribution to society – defines our social performance. We believe there are significant business risks if we get social performance wrong, and real opportunities for competitive advantage if we do it well.

Because we want our employees to embrace that belief, we encourage them to contribute to society by supporting their efforts through our Global Social Investment initiative. We fund projects originated on a corporate basis, we provide matching gifts to support employees' charitable contributions and we offer time off to allow employees to fulfill volunteer commitments.
