Fluctuating Workforce Affects Production in Mining

HR departments in mining industry are implementing effective employee retention programs and new ways in determining their value.

It is rightly said that "machines are important in the production process but the man behind the machines is more important”. The limited supply of qualified technical talent in the mining industry has been affecting the sector for over a decade now and year after year there are more people leaving than entering this industry.

Amongst the key issues that the mining industry faces is the effective management of steadily increasing contract workforce. Relocating employees and their families overseas, often to developing countries where both living and working conditions are challenging and complexity to recruiting and retaining a workforce with the requisite skills and experience adds a further dimension.

“Our greatest challenge in the mining industry is that of 'people', attracting, recruiting, orientating, training and retaining. Labour shortages and other critical Human Resource issues are prevalent throughout the mining industry worldwide”. Ingrid Hann, Vice President, Human Resources, De Beers Canada Inc, who would be sharing his expertise at the conference.

To discuss all the significant challenges and identify opportunities, Fleming Gulf Conferences is proud to present its initiative - Global Human Asset Expansion In Mining to be held on 15-16 February 2012 in London, UK. The conference provides a great networking opportunity for human resource professionals and the chance to hear how companies go about their strategic workforce planning successfully.

The business risks and most prominent issues currently faced by employees in mining sector will be identified through discussions which would see top HR leaders of the mining industry and from the analysis of organizations participating from around the world.

Apart from deliberating various challenges pertaining to human resources and human resource management, the conference would act as a platform for human resource administrators, human resource advisors, talent experts, recruitment consultants etc, to network and share their perspective on the aspect of human asset management in the mining sector.
