In essence, human resource development is about maintaining the right skills to support our business strategy. Training our employees is how we make sure we can meet our objectives – now and in the future. It also drives diversity and enables transformation by focusing on HDSA and female employees.
Human resource development spans the whole development spectrum – from safety training, to growing qualified professionals in core mining disciplines, to building more general skills that can be used in order to get a job or start a business outside of the mining environment. Training is offered through formal interventions and in less structured ways such as regular briefings at our business units and their operations.
