What the 2025 Lubricants Talent Survey Is All About
Now in its 4th edition, the Lubricants Talent Survey 2025, supported by Lubes’n’Greases, returns with a fresh mission: to provide the most comprehensive insight yet into the people powering the lubricants sector — and the challenges and opportunities they face. By taking part in the survey, you’re helping to shape the future of talent in our industry.
Each year, the Lubricants Talent Report shines a spotlight on critical trends in workforce attraction, retention, and development. But in 2025, we’re going further. This year, we’re tackling the big questions on leadership, DEI, skills, culture, and career priorities — and for the first time ever, building a DEI snapshot of our workforce.
From early access to the final report, to the chance to direct a charity donation from ABN Resource, your voice can drive real impact. Because real insights start with you.
Why This Report Matters More Than Ever
With economic uncertainty, energy transitions, and digital transformation reshaping the industry, understanding the talent landscape is no longer optional — it’s a competitive necessity.
- For companies, it’s a tool to benchmark culture, talent strategies, and leadership priorities.
- For industry professionals, it’s a way to reflect on career goals and see how their experiences compare globally.
- For the sector, it’s a pulse check on how we’re evolving and where we must go next.
And this year, we’re asking an essential question that’s been long overdue in lubricants:
How Diverse and Inclusive Are We, Really?
Despite growing awareness of the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, there is still no industry-specific data on diversity and representation in the lubricants sector — until now.
In 2025, we’re taking a step forward. For the first time, the Lubricants Talent Survey will include questions designed to better understand the makeup of our workforce across gender, age, ethnicity, and more. Our goal is to start building a clearer picture of who makes up this industry, and how inclusive it truly feels to those within it.
This data will be anonymised and handled with care, but the insights will be powerful helping companies identify gaps, benchmark progress, and take informed steps toward building more inclusive, equitable workplaces.
Exclusive Insights for Participants + Support for a Good Cause
By taking part in the survey, you won’t just contribute to a more informed and inclusive future — you’ll be among the first to receive the full report before it’s publicly released.
Plus, three participants will be randomly selected to choose a charity for ABN Resource to donate to. Your five minutes could make a real-world impact beyond the page.
Be Part of the Story
Last year, the 2024 edition of the Lubricants Talent Report delivered record-breaking participation and uncovered powerful insights like the fact that 60% of professionals listed “growth” as their top workplace priority, highlighting the forward-thinking spirit that defines our sector.
We’re proud to continue this effort in 2025, and we need your voice to make it count. Whether you’re in leadership, operations, R&D, sales, or HR — real insight starts with you.
Take the survey today and help us create the most meaningful, actionable talent report the lubricants industry has ever seen.
Thank you for being part of the conversation — and the change.
