Power your people’s potential

By 2030, 2.5 million fossil fuel jobs will disappear. But 8 million renewable energy jobs will be created by then, too. Almost half of fossil fuel employees have the perfect skills for the clean energy sector. They just need help adapting those skills for the new era.

This is a huge undertaking for any HR department. So rather than keeping this initiative centralised and solely owned by HR, why not democratise access and empower your employees to take ownership of their  professional development?

Coaching and mentoring can support your professionals in the transition to new roles, enabling them to develop the skills they want and need in a one-to-one environment. We’re talking personalised skill development that moves at their pace not your HR department’s calendar availability. Bespoke training solutions mean they can grow their skills faster in a way that suits them. So you can fill the skills gaps your business needs.

Energise your workforce for the next generation

The energy and utility industry has an employee branding problem with Gen Z – our data showed that just 10.5% want to work in the industry. But Gen Z is entering the workforce faster than you can say ‘TikTok’. They’re digital natives who can solve your tech problems before you’ve finished explaining them. They’re sure to transform the industry and how we work – but they need help translating their skills into workplace wins.

Here’s what Gen Z wants: values-driven organisations that invest in learning and development for their workforce.

Coaching and mentoring can set you apart from your competition if you want to become the employer of choice for the best new talent. As well as solving your recruitment challenges, coaching and mentoring can help you close necessary skills gaps and attract and empower a diverse talent pool.

Supercharge your leaders for the energy transition

Your managers are your grid operators: they keep everything running smoothly, handle the surge in daily demands, and prevent operational blackouts from frontline employees. But even the best transformers need maintenance.

They have to balance technical skills, keep their people skills charged, and lead teams through the biggest shake-up since electricity replaced gas lamps in the mid-1900s. No pressure.

That’s where our external coaches come in. They’re like your managers’ personal power banks, providing that extra boost when they need help with their energy management. Not only that, but they can help your high performers transition into leadership roles so that you develop a bench strength of future leaders, ready to usher in a bright future for succession planning.

Because when your managers are properly powered up, they don’t just serve change – they become the conductors of it.

The session had a huge impact. My confidence, self respect and knowing what I want is all returning. I was a little lost but feeling more like my 'old self' again, which is exactly what I needed.

Create bespoke, scalable coaching programs

At Sanctus, we’ve seen the benefits of coaching for employees at every level. Which is why we have a unique, on-demand coaching model that makes it accessible to everyone. Whether an employee needs a one-off coaching session to problem solve or you want to take a more programmatic approach and explore topics like leadership development, we’ve got a coach and a programme for you.

Our unique flexible model means that instead of coaching being restricted to whoever has a license, employees can self-nominate, giving them access to coaching from a pool of available sessions and coaches.

All our coaches are certified, with over 500 hours of one-to-one training. They have a range of backgrounds and skills, meaning they can support employees’ and leaders’ professional development and help them communicate more effectively with colleagues, consistently perform their best, and become more confident decision makers.

Transform teams with friction-free mentoring that scales with you

The addition of mentoring tools makes our offer even more flexible. It’s so simple and fast to set up that mentors and mentees don’t even need laptops to connect – they can just use their phones. And there’s minimal ongoing maintenance for your admins.

Using the award-winning PushFar app, employees can organise meetings in an intuitive interface and you can get the right engagement reports in an easy-to-read dashboard. So everyone gets to see the results from mentoring.

It’s up to you whether you match mentors manually or use our unique mentor-matching algorithm, which is powered by PushFar. However they connect, your employees get to learn, reach their goals, and enhance their skills with the support of a mentor they trust.

The powerful mentor-mentee connection ensures you keep vital customer service, risk management, and fossil fuels knowledge in-house. It works alongside your sustainability goals to ensure you retain valuable resources and go through the energy transition as smoothly as possible.
