Professional development
At BP we’re a learning organization, and the learning never stops
We continue to challenge our collective knowledge and skills, because we know using that knowledge better than our competitors will be what gives us the edge.
Everyone who works for us contributes to our success. Working together, drawing from our diverse talents and perspectives, we stimulate new and creative opportunities for our business and generate a more exciting and rewarding work environment. Above all, we make you feel responsible for the performance and reputation of our company.
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 apply for available jobs.
We believe that we have a responsibility to invest in the development of each and every community in which we do business. 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 fulfil volunteer commitments.
Because we recognize 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, we emphasize learning and career development resources to build relevant skills. Specific training opportunities vary by business and location.
Total Rewards recognizes the value our employees bring to the company with much more than a paycheck. We spend billions of dollars each year on Total Rewards to help maintain our valuable competitive advantage: talented employees who are committed to our success.
