Внимание, опасайтесь мошеннических сообщений, якобы направленных от имени компаний, входящих в группу «Драгон Ойл»!

Ознакомьтесь с порядком действий при получении сообщений, которые кажутся вам подозрительными.

В последнее время участились инциденты с участием организаций, ложно заявляющих о найме работников от имени «Драгон Ойл». Эти организации, утверждающие, что они являются аффилированными компаниями или уполномочены «Драгон Ойл», уведомляют людей от том, что их квалификация соответствует требованиям на должности (местные или экспатские) в «Драгон Ойл» и предлагают перевести значительные денежные суммы в качестве оплаты разрешений на работу, страховых полисов и т.д.

Обратите внимание, что «Драгон Ойл» (а также компании, производящие набор персонала по поручению «Драгон Ойл») никогда не просят перевести деньги или произвести какую-либо оплату от соискателей на всех этапах процесса найма. Все кандидаты, получившие предложение о приеме на работу в «Драгон Ойл» напрямую или через уполномоченные кадровые агентства, всегда проходят через формальные процедуры найма.

Пожалуйста, имейте в виду, что указанные выше сообщения являются мошенническими! Они не исходят от компании «Драгон Ойл» или ее материнской компании – «ENOC» и никак не связаны с официальным наймом персонала в «Драгон Ойл».

Отличительными особенностями таких мошеннических сообщений являются следующие: они направлены не с официальных электронных адресов «Драгон Ойл» (а, например, с использованием электронной почты yahoo.com); написаны с ошибками, с низким уровнем английского языка; на каком-то этапе возникает просьба произвести перевод денег.

Рекомендуем вам не отвечать на подобные сообщения, а также на какие-либо бизнес-предложения, направленные без вашего запроса, от людей или организаций, которые вам незнакомы.

Если вы получили такие предложения, рекомендуем вам незамедлительно обратиться в местные правоохранительные органы и предоставить им всю имеющуюся у вас информацию об отправителях (адреса электронной почты, номера телефонов, факсов и т.д.)

At the heart of our People First culture is education, training and personal development. We know from experience how unlocking the potential of our people leads to a virtuous circle: when employees achieve more, they enjoy their roles more; and that sense of fulfilment drives even greater ambition, satisfaction – and the company’s growth.

2014 achievements

Training & Development

We also seek out the best training wherever it may be. Our Turkmen national employees regularly undertake professional training programmes abroad, as well as take up regular internships at our headquarters in Dubai. The latter also supports operations in the field and promotes knowledge-sharing through continuous learning and access to senior management.

Dragon Oil Centre of Excellence was launched in April 2010. The Centre of Excellence is dedicated to the training and development of our employees with a particular focus on our Turkmen national workforce.

The key objectives of the Centre of Excellence are:

To enhance and develop the skills and abilities of our employees; To help them develop right skills for more challenging roles in the future;
To help the employee reach his/her full potential by setting specific career goals and improving performance;
To introduce a continuous learning culture in the company and to provide the employees with necessary facilities to undertake learning;
To develop the skills of national employees in both operational and leadership roles to prepare and enable them to assume jobs of higher responsibility as per a defined succession plan; and
To provide more and better quality, cost-effective onsite training solutions and facilities for all on-the-job training.

local content

We believe in conducting ourselves according to the highest standards of business practice. This not only means being true to the Dragon Oil Code of Conduct, which we initiated in 2009; it means looking at how our business impacts the local host areas in which we work.

Having implemented our Dragon Oil Code of Conduct in 2009 to ensure best practice throughout the company, we followed it with a programme to ensure that our contractors follow our code as well. For every project, we conduct a competitive bidding process where we set out specific requirements defining quality, delivery and integrity. We select suppliers based on the best available offer while also taking into account reliability, experience and any previous working relationship we may have had with them.

In 2011, we started to encourage actively our suppliers to use locally sourced labour and materials. In 2012, we laid the foundation of this strategy by endeavouring that any tender we receive for major projects needs to comprise a minimum of 20% local content, if at all possible.

We are also leading by example. In 2010, we allocated land in the harbour area to contractors to allow them to construct platforms and gathering blocks near Dragon Oil’s operations. This not only helped us to supervise the contractors and keep to deadlines, but also had the effect of bringing more local jobs and orders for supplies to the area.

In 2011, the Dzheitune (Lam) Block 1 and C platforms were built in our ship yard followed by the Dzhygalybeg (Zhdanov) Block 4 gathering platform as well as the Dzhygalybeg (Zhdanov) B platform.

Use of local content brings benefits to everyone: our employees, our suppliers, the local community and our host government. Development of the Cheleken Contract Area fields means new opportunities for local businesses and new jobs for local people in, for example, construction and transport.

This helps to stimulate development of the small- and medium-sized enterprise sector within the country. We partner with more than 20 local companies for contractual work and materials supply, and the value of contracts awarded to local companies within the past three years amounts to approximately US$26mn. Currently more than 3,000 local workers are employed by our contractor companies working on infrastructure projects in the Cheleken area.

strategy

Our CSR strategy revolves around a number of undertakings where we aim to:

Develop and empower our Turkmen national human capital;
Contribute in a meaningful way to the welfare of the community in Hazar to foster economic prosperity and well-being;
Undertake projects, which help to improve the living standards of both our employees and Hazar citizens in general, with a particular focus on health and education;
Promote social development and support education;
Undertake projects, develop and implement policies to protect the environment in the Cheleken;
Prioritise HSE by putting significant efforts into site HSE enforcement; and
Strengthen our relationship with suppliers by introducing the Code of Conduct into every contract.
