This includes a broad curriculum containing a variety of ad hominem commercial and technical learning seminars, in addition to online courses, books, films and high-quality guides.
In certain circumstances, we may elect to enroll one of our staff at a higher educational establishment, be it in the Russian Federation or abroad, to undertake a more rigorous period of study. Rusneftegaz maintains comprehensive affiliations with many institutions, including the prestigious Ukhta State Technical University, to pool resources and share research. During this time, networks can be established with leading experts, the latest corporate governance policies and legal requirements can be studied in minute detail, and the best procedures practiced domestically and internationally can be evaluated. All of our academic programs are designed with an internationalist outlook, analyzing current global trends within the energy industry and the responses to historical events. For instance, Rusneftegaz is presently coordinating a full program of professional training for all our engineers, with such a major undertaking remaining a priority for our company. Through this particular scheme, we intend to guarantee that all our specialists are capable of confronting the challenges of their job and the wider industry. It is also to ensure that each member of our workforce has the competences necessary to guarantee optimal effectiveness in their current roles, and as a result, a substantial majority of our employees revised or acquired new skills through on-the-job training last year. This has been conducted with a particular focus on best practice in various situations, with classes being held over a single day. These have been specifically designed to brief existing and prospective personnel with regard to alterations in emergency procedures, or how to operate new or specific equipment, machinery or processes, in as efficient timeframe as possible.
Through our observations over the past two decades, we believe that this type of learning is the most effective modicum for developing new skills and acquiring knowledge. This is exceptionally pertinent within the scope of health, safety, security, compliance and ethics, on which our organization places a great emphasis in all areas of our operations. Training within this scope is periodical and mandatory, with our directors actively encouraging all those affiliated with Rusneftegaz to promote such principles and report any concerns to their superiors. Intrinsically, whilst the majority of our focus is engaged on technical development, with over half of all our staff enrolled in some form of education program at any one time, we also place great importance on cultivating the next generation of managers. We aim to provide the knowledge and skills required to be effective in this position, namely through studying communication, decision-making and team management, to ultimately succeed in this role and prepare for a more advanced position in our corporation.

It has similarly been noted that the individual performance of those working in teams, or on specified projects, has significantly increased as a result of shared knowledge. This is principally because we ensure that all the mentors that engage in tutoring our younger personnel are experts in their field and are capable of communicating their experience to others. If deemed suitable, these senior staff are asked to join this arrangement during the routine evaluations of their attainment, which take place continuously through the year to ensure our aspirational values are maintained.
These regular appraisals, tailored to each role within our company, predominately focus on the competence and results delivered by an individual since their last review. In this meeting, each member of our workforce is asked to identify their own strengths using our array of self-assessment tools, and then highlight any areas of potential improvement following comments from their immediate managers. Meticulous targets are mutually agreed accordingly, and the consistency in the timeframe of such assessments ensure that progress is monitored and any new or additional deficiencies are also detected.

Those who surpass these benchmarks are considered our highest achievers, and for whom we operate individual development plans. This particular mechanism allows chosen personnel to plan the next stages of their career progression, this is not limited to but includes upgrading their considerable competences, undergoing advanced training and participating in various seminars and workshops. Although such opportunities are ample, in certain cases we send our employees on secondments to other major companies across the world, chiefly to impart greater experience to all those involved. During this time, each of the participants will have a unique chance to gain insights into the operations of other firms and improve their own abilities accordingly. For instance, new skills can be learned, whilst also observing the best practices of contemporaneous enterprises. After returning from their placement, these can then be transferred to their colleagues at Rusneftegaz, and potentially be adopted in our day-to-day operations as a result. As a business we aspire to utilize the finest techniques available, and through collaboration we often discover new ways of improving, especially with entities that conduct themselves in different environments and situations. When such information is accrued it is uploaded onto our company intranet, allowing expertise to be exchanged and shared throughout our organization, in conjunction with all the knowledge we have collectively accumulated from other sources. This advanced system has been active since 2010, but remains in continual development, maintaining an exhaustive volume of materials pertaining to accounting, commodities trading, economics, exploration, finance, geology, personnel management, petroleum production, power generation, refining, and taxation.

We have created a comprehensive electronic platform, offering in excess of 250 specialist courses that are designed to keep staff updated with the latest developments in their field and provides access to a plethora of industry resources. For example, we provide incisive materials about health and security, but also fire and hazard protection.

Although some of these digital classes are obligatory for certain personnel, the majority of the content is freely accessible for each individual member of our workforce to define their own convenient study schedule using their own personal devices if so desired. We endeavor to provide as much as possible for our staff to improve their career prospects, whether that is remotely or on-site. We view these policies as integral to our short and long-term progress, and thus our training regimen undergoes continuous evaluation and improvement to adhere to the needs of our commercial strategy.
