Human Capital Management

With over seven decades of operations, we are one of the largest and longest-serving helicopter operators in the world, with a reputation for operational excellence. Our employees are some of the most highly-regarded experts in vertical flight solutions. We strive to prepare our employees for success through training, competitive benefits packages, and career development. Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including pilots and engineers. The competition for pilots and engineers is steep, and we compete with major Part 121 air carriers, such as commercial airlines, and the emergency air medical industry to attract and retain such talent. We believe the best way to attract and retain top talent is to invest in our people through creating safe work environments, employee training, competitive compensation and multi-level engagement to support their success. We seek qualified candidates who are aligned with our commitment to safety and other core values of integrity, passion, teamwork and progress.

Health and Safety

Safety is our number one core value and highest operational priority. Our pilots, engineers and support personnel are committed to our mission to provide safe, efficient and reliable aviation services. We initiated our industry-leading safety program, Target Zero, and are one of the founding members of HeliOffshore, an organization dedicated to collaboration across the offshore helicopter industry to improve safety around the world.

We believe in keeping everyone safe and well, which includes doing our part to safeguard our physical and mental well-being. We currently have global resources in place to support mental health including an employee well-being portal that provides information and support channels for navigating stress and access to counseling and mental health professionals for all our employees around the world.

Training and Development

We are committed to elevating our employees. All of our employees are required to take periodic training that promotes commitment to our core values: safety, integrity, passion, teamwork and progress. Our pilots and engineers are required to take the latest trainings to ensure they are equipped to operate our aircraft with the best knowledge and experience. Our licensed professionals are afforded the opportunity for continuing education in their fields of expertise.

Workforce Representation

We are committed to attracting and retaining high-performing employees through a diverse talent base and evaluating and promoting throughout our organization based on skills and performance. This is reinforced through our policy under our COBI to provide equal opportunity for everyone in recruiting, hiring, developing, promoting and compensating without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status or disability. Our workforce is represented by approximately 50 nationalities globally; approximately 24% of our U.S. employees are veterans; and approximately 19% of our workforce are women, with 37% serving in management-level roles and with half of our executive management team represented by women. In addition, our workforce includes racial and ethnic diversity across our global operations.

Compensation and Benefits

We offer competitive, market-based compensation and benefits for the markets in which we operate. Competitive programs are critical to the well-being of our employees and their families, as well as retention and business continuity. Global benefit offerings include major medical, life, retirement/pension, employee well-being support akin to employee assistance programs in addition to local offerings that vary by country market.
