Our People

In 2008, following a strategic review of its approach to human resources, Talisman began development of a new global workforce strategy to develop a strong talent management system and leadership development program. Talisman expects these objectives to increase career development opportunities and build organizational and recruitment capabilities.

In support of the increased focus on Talisman’s people, the Company created a new leadership model, reflecting the beliefs and behaviours important to Company leaders.

our values

Talisman was built on a foundation of strong values, which are key to building relationships with each other and the communities in which the Company operates. Living these values will ensure Talisman’s continued success. These values were reintroduced in 2009, with the addition of safety as a core value.

Safety. Our goal is to create working conditions where we cause no harm to people.

Passion. We inspire others by the passion we demonstrate for our work.

Results. We have a bias for results and take initiative to get things done efficiently, creating value for our shareholders.

Respect. We take time to consider and appreciate other people’s points of view, and treat the environment with respect.

Excellence. We strive for excellence in what we do and how we do it.

Teamwork. By working effectively together, we can deliver results far beyond our individual capabilities.

Honest communication. We show courage to speak honestly and support others to do the same.
