Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Some time ago, the President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok had revealed the length of time he had to increase his career path at the company, it took him more than 20 years to become Vice President (VP). For this reason, he is committed to fixing Pertamina and making initial moves in the field of Human Resources (HR).
This has now become real, no longer a discourse. Now, Pertamina is filled with fresh faces through the presence of nine young people who occupy a number of top positions in the Pertamina Group.
SVP of Corporate Communication & Investor Relations of Pertamina Agus Suprijanto explained that the age of these young people is around 40 years on average. They are not half-hearted, they occupy strategic positions on the board of directors in the sub-holding and subsidiary of Pertamina.
Their achievements demonstrate that age is not a barrier to pursuing an aggressive career path through a number of talent development “special programs” (talent) at Pertamina.
“Even though their age is still relatively young, their achievements and skills have been tested so far. Plus, they have also taken high-level programs from companies that aim to maximize their potential through ‘Talent Management System Development‘. Of course, with several criteria and a series of development programs designed to answer current and future challenges, “said Agus in the company’s official statement on Monday (02/11/2020).
The nine people are:
1. Iin Febrian (42 years) President Director of PT Pertamina Retail
2. Yoki Firnandi (40 years old) Director of Product Optimization at PT Pertamina International Refinery
3. Mars Ega Legowo Putra (42 years) Director of Planning and Business Development of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga
4. Isabella Hutahaean (44 years) Director of Human Resources & Business Support of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga
5. Fitri Azwar (43 years) Director of Finance, PT Pertamina Training & Consulting

8. I Putu Puja Astawa (43 years old) Fleet Director of PT Pertamina International Shipping
9. Indah Kurnianingsih (42 years) Director of Operations & Marketing, PT Pertamina Training & Consulting.
According to Agus, the development of young talent is a special concern for Pertamina. This refers to the demographics of the company, where around 66% or around 21,000 employees of the company are Gen Y and Gen Z.
According to him, the commitment of the Pertamina Board of Directors to give trust to these young leaders in managing the company’s million dollar business portfolio is a form of awareness to prepare the next generation of leadership relay in the Indonesian energy company.
“With the dominant percentage level, we realize that the future of the company is in their hands. Including the matter of company restructuring which is currently underway. These young workers play a very important role in the success of the restructuring transition process,” he explained.
Likewise with regard to career paths or the system of promotion at Pertamina, according to him, it does not only rely on working time periods, but rather prioritizes the capabilities of its workers. According to him, this is also in line with the program pushed by the President Commissioner of Pertamina Basuki Tjahaja Purnama to open equal opportunities for all workers to occupy a position, as long as they meet the required competencies.
“In the spirit of building a culture that prioritizes meritocracy over priority, optimizing the opportunity to find the best talents from the Pertamina Group, and also increasing stakeholder confidence in the transparency of the official election process, Pertamina also uses Internal Job Posting (IJP) as an alternative to get the best candidate, “he said.
In developing these young talents, Pertamina implements the value of collaboration and competence core values AKHLAK in the form of providing wider career opportunities for all Pertamina employees who have superior passion and competence. The value standard is a direction from shareholders for all BUMN.
In accordance with the direction of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir when inaugurating Pertamina’s management in June 2020, so that the entire Board of Directors of Pertamina is more focused on working on the core business, consistently runs the restructuring and consolidation program and in the end is expected to achieve Key Performance Indicators (KPI) the good one.
With the development of a talent management system, according to Agus, Pertamina can produce workers who are ready to carry out their duties according to their competence and are able to increase their capacity. So that Pertamina can take a leading role in international projects and strategic functions.
“Currently, the opportunity is wide open for young officers to lead in state-owned companies and contribute to national energy management,” he said.
Previously, in a video with the artist Butet Kertaradjasa, Ahok talked about the career paths of employees at Pertamina.
“First, we fix it, it’s a matter of career path. In the past, when Pertamina got good grades, you could only go up one level,” said Ahok, the Pertamina’s chief commissioner, answering Butet’s questions on his YouTube channel, quoted Monday (19/10/2020).
“So if someone wants to become a vice president, people have to work maybe over 20 years old. […] Now I cut it. We entered the second time, we tested it, just now in the meeting that if you did a good test you could jump 4-5 times right away. “
Ahok also said that currently there is a position auction at Pertamina for any employee to participate. However, he preferred to re-mix all human resources at Pertamina by conducting tests.
“I want to re-shake it like in DKI before. In DKI there were 10 thousand or 11 thousand structural positions, we would cut only 6 thousand if no wrong. “
“Everything was re-shuffled. Re-appointed at Monas. So I mean, it should be, then we can get the best of the best.”
Ahok also told how he wanted Pertamina to use the digitization system in any way. Including the signature that can be done digitally. In addition, Ahok also changed the obligations of the Commissioner, who previously met only 4 times a year, now it is more frequent.
