A direct communication channel with our field teams

Forship Group believes that maintaining a continuous and open dialogue with its employees—especially those working remotely on projects—is essential to the company’s strong performance across all activities. That’s why, in addition to the welcome event held at the start of each project, we maintain direct contact with team members through Safety Dialogues and leadership meetings.

Always looking to improve this communication channel, we created the PDE: “Papo Direto com a Equipe” (Talk Directly with the Team, in English) for load-handling projects in the Santos and Campos basins. The initiative aims to clarify company guidelines, provide orientation on contractual requirements, share experiences, align expectations, and strengthen the connection between leadership and field teams.

These teams are deployed on four platforms and the Maintenance and Safety Unit (UMS) in the Roncador field, Campos Basin, under the management of Petrobras’ Espírito Santo Business Unit (UN-ES), and on five production platforms in the Berbigão, Sururu, and Atapu fields in the Santos Basin (UN-BS).

“With the PDE, we practice active listening in its fullest sense, while also addressing frequently asked questions covering a wide range of topics—both administrative and operational,” explains Sebastião Filho, O&M Coordinator for these projects. “These in-person meetings provide a space where everyone can voice their questions and perspectives.”

Meetings

According to the O&M Coordinator, the average participation per session is around 15 team members on the UN-BS assets and about 60 on the UN-ES assets.

The meetings held so far have reinforced the value of this initiative, which promotes greater interaction among employees. “Through this ongoing dialogue, we believe that the trust between team members and leadership will continue to grow stronger,” concludes Sebastião Filho.
