Team development for graduates at PTTEP
This team development programme for graduates working at Thailand’s national petroleum exploration and production company was designed to give them a deeper insight into their corporate values.
Each year, PTTEP conducts a month-long induction programme for their new graduates in order to immerse them in the company’s business ethic and culture and to equip them with business skills. Part of the induction programme is to introduce and reinforce an understanding of PTTEP's corporate values and the way they impact on their work environment.
In partnership with PTTEP, Impact designed a team development programme for 46 graduates, which integrated the PTTEP corporate values. Through a series of powerful workshops and activities, the graduates were able to gain deeper insight into the corporate values.
The programme began with the graduates working in sub-groups alongside senior staff to discuss the values and what they mean to them. Activities throughout the programme were designed to challenge the graduates and to encourage and highlight facilitated discussions of the values. Emphasis was also placed on providing opportunities for the graduates to develop a better understanding of themselves and their colleagues and to have some fun.
The programme and learning outcomes created a strong bridge for these talented graduates to cross into the professional working culture of one of Asia Pacific’s leading petroleum companies.
"The programme provided by Impact was creative and engaging. Our graduates' engagement with the activities was of huge value to PTTEP as they gained a more thorough understanding of our business ethics and corporate values as well as the importance of working as a team. The programme therefore met our objectives most satisfactorily."

The results of the review confirmed that the number of managers who present strategic and developing styles increased by over 20%. Moreover, the programme had a very positive impact on the inter-departmental / cross-functional cooperation, which is very important in such a large and diverse company as Polpharma."
