OMV’s People & Culture (P&C) department is responsible for a wide range of functions that are crucial to our organizational success. These include talent acquisition, which focuses on attracting the right candidates to join our team. People development is another key area, encompassing strategic competency development, talent management, and learning management to ensure our employees have the skills and knowledge needed for their roles. People relations involves managing payroll, employee administration, and employment law and contracts, maintaining smooth and compliant operations. The P&C department also handles rewards and global mobility, ensuring our employees are recognized and can move across different regions as needed. Finally, the P&C representatives coordinate the activities of various units and countries where we operate, bringing synergy and alignment to our global operations.
The organizational setup of the local P&C departments in the various countries is aligned with the principles of being fit for purpose, operating as efficiently as possible and generating the broadest possible synergies. We promote the strategic exchange of talent between OMV and Borealis to offer employees additional job opportunities and support the development of new skill sets. The OMV P&C leadership team reports directly to the OMV Group Senior Vice President (SVP) of P&C. The SVP reports directly to the CEO.
Responsibility for the diversity topic is anchored at the highest level, as the achievement of diversity targets forms part of the ESG targets in the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for the remuneration of the Executive Board. The OMV Group’s People & Culture (P&C) department is responsible for implementing the Group’s DE&I Strategy. A governance team comprising P&C, Communications, and sponsors from Board level across OMV was formed in 2022 to work on our DE&I Strategy and reach the milestones defined in our roadmap. In addition, during DE&I workshops, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) consisting of volunteer OMV employees have been established to achieve our DE&I goals. The ERGs support our actions by promoting the initiatives within their own teams, creating the voice of the DE&I community and increasing visibility.
