Workforce
Empowering employees on their path to success
Devon sets high standards for operational, financial and ESG performance to meet our stakeholders’ expectations, and our employees consistently deliver results. Guided by our principles of fairness, opportunity and the chance for every employee to fully participate and be heard, we strive to create a work environment where people give their best effort every day.
Since our merger in 2021, we’ve been leaning into our culture of openness to new ideas and creative solutions. We’re living our values to support each other, value diversity and have courage as we seek to make a positive and sustainable impact. Devon strives to be a caring and connected company where employees feel they are heard, seen and valued, and have opportunities to contribute and grow.
Devon supports individual, team and company progress with family-friendly workplace practices, wellness programs, and opportunities to make decisions and be accountable for results. We communicate proactively with employees about our goals and performance, and we seek employees’ input and act on their feedback. We do not accept the status quo of social and racial inequality, and we’re working to cultivate inclusive, diverse, equitable and respectful communities inside and outside our company.
