Localization is important because it helps TGL to meet its goals and objectives. The
strategies that the company uses in localization include resourcing, development, retention,
and stakeholder management are important in any company or organization. Resourcing is
important in the Tullow’s localization strategy because it helps the company to meet its
demand for skilled technical staff that will be in charge of the activities that take place in the
company. Resourcing is an element of human resource management that is concerned with
obtaining and retaining a workforce with the necessary skills, attitudes, values, and other
attributes that are required to ensure that the company meets its goals and objectives. The
process of employee resourcing is made up of a number of critical HR activities that include
the company’s process of planning for human resources, recruitment of the employee,
selecting them to be part of various sections in the company, retaining the employees that are
performing better in the company and various ways that a company may use to release
employees out of the company. Employees may be released from the company due to
different reasons.
Localization involves employing people from the local community. Tullow can attract and
retain the Ghanaian that have a potential doing the best for the company. The company can
also attract the experts that have the desire to drive localization. The company can also make
training programs that will equip the people in the society with the necessary skills that will
in turn help the company to achieve its goals and objectives. The company should also attract
and retain expatriates that with shorter time to competence. Localization has several
advantages to the company that will help in the growth of the company. Localization will
strengthen the Tullow brand and reputation. A good reputation will enable the company to
attract more clients and skilled employees. Localization is also important because it ensures
that the company meets the needs of the local clients and serves the interest of the local
communities. A company that does not please the local community will have a hard time
meeting the goals and objectives that they have put in place because of resistance from the
local community.
The acquisition of human resources should be followed by development to ensure that the
output of the employees makes the company meet the needs of the clients in the market. The
companies have to make it possible for the employees to develop their skills. A company
that does not provide the employees with the chance to develop is not a good place for the
company to work. It is important to note that companies may decide to leave a company if
they feel that it will not enable them to meet the goals that they have in life. One universal
goal that the employees have is to see their career grow. It is, therefore, important for the
company to enhance the career growth of the employees because it will help them to work
harder in their workplaces.
