In a groundbreaking move, TotalEnergies, a global leader in energy production and innovation, is revolutionizing employee engagement and empowerment, extending its transformative initiatives to its workforce in Uganda. This strategic shift not only aligns with TotalEnergies’ ethos of sustainability and inclusivity but also signifies a paradigm shift in employee ownership and participation within the company.
At the heart of TotalEnergies’ new approach is its commitment to employee shareholder ownership. By granting each of its 100,000 employees worldwide 100 shares, including those in Uganda, TotalEnergies is fostering a culture of shared success and collaboration. This move, marking the company’s 100-year anniversary, is not just a gesture; it’s a tangible investment in the people who drive TotalEnergies’ vision forward.
Furthermore, TotalEnergies is facilitating direct participation for its employees in Uganda through a capital increase program at a significant discount, showcasing a dedication to fairness and accessibility. This program, along with the annual performance share allocation plan, ensures that employees are not just passive contributors but active stakeholders in TotalEnergies’ growth trajectory.
The impact of these initiatives extends beyond financial gains. They represent a shift towards a more inclusive and participatory corporate culture, where every employee’s voice and contribution are valued. By empowering its workforce in Uganda and globally, TotalEnergies is not just creating shareholders but fostering a sense of ownership, responsibility, and pride among its employees.
This strategic approach has placed TotalEnergies at the forefront of employee shareholder ownership in Europe, with over 65% of its employees globally being shareholders. In Uganda, this translates into tangible benefits for employees, reinforcing TotalEnergies’ position as a progressive and forward-thinking employer in the region.
TotalEnergies’ Chairman and CEO, Patrick Pouyanné, encapsulates this ethos succinctly: “Making every one of our 100,000 employees a TotalEnergies shareholder… demonstrates our commitment to employee shareholding, which is at the heart of our value sharing policy.”
As TotalEnergies continues to lead the way in energy innovation and sustainability, its commitment to empowering its employees in Uganda and across the globe serves as a beacon of inspiration for businesses striving to create a more equitable and inclusive future.
