Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. President and CEO Bob Malone said today that he is bringing in an independent team to assess and assist Alyeska in achieving an open business environment. The announcement follows a decision by Malone to create a new position at Alyeska to help address the culture change issues Alyeska has been working on for the past five years. <p>
”I believe that many people at Alyeska are making a tremendous effort to move the company forward. But I can’t ignore the information from the BLM’s survey that our employees have difficulty raising concerns. We will have an open environment that achieves business results, is open to different ideas and values people. We take our job as operator of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System very seriously, and with a great deal of pride, and this effort shows our commitment to that job,” said Malone. <p>
Seventeen-year Alyeska veteran Rob Shoaf will be leading the effort to improve the work environment at Alyeska. Alyeska said that Shoaf has met with other companies and studied how they have improved their corporate culture and created a positive business environment. He will be working closely with Little Harbor Consultants to identify employee attitudes and work environment issues, as well as reviewing the Employee Concerns Program and its effectiveness.
