Workforce - The Paradigm Shift | Live Panel
Industries struggled with significant workforce changes during COVID, including increased employment attrition and workforce frustration and dissatisfaction. Attracting and retaining top talent remains high on companies list of priorities, however resignations have been trending up. While this spike has decreased, there is high demand for talent across industries. Mining is above the national average in job openings at 7.4%. With this increasing need for talent, how do we attract and retain talent?
It is even more concerning that organizations experience a talent drain by employee populations that hurt the most: and more women than men showed a dramatic increase in resignations compared to the pandemic-ridden year 2020. Additionally, more experienced employees are rethinking their work situation. All of this impacts businesses ability to sustain its performance as well as progressing with increasingly public diversity goals.
COVID also significantly accelerated the momentum towards remote work opportunities. Our now flexible work world remains as a desirable job feature for millions, which is a tectonic change in where, when and how Americans work. Per this McKinsey study, over 58% of working America has the opportunity to work at least one day a week from home. That is 92 million people. Eighty-seven percent of the people offered work place flexibility take it. More men are offered this (61%) than women (52%). The opportunity to work from home can be a deciding factor in hiring.
Join a panel discussion of professionals who are on the front lines of the evolving workforce and moving the needle in recruitment and retention for mining.

It's well known that integrated, diverse and collaborative teams perform better. In tailings, siloed teams and isolated people, focused on completing individual tasks without interaction, can be dangerous. And, when people are uninformed about the risks that they manage, or how their actions contribute to a larger system’s health, this can lead to major issues going unidentified and unchecked. The belief may be that all is well when the truth can be far from it. This presentation will acknowled...

The management of risks associated with tailings storage facilities (TSFs) is critical for ensuring the safe operation and closure of mining operations. Effective tailings risk management encompasses three main elements: risk identification, implementation of an appropriate control regime, and verification of control performance. Risk identification involves systematically analyzing potential failure modes, their likelihood, and associated consequences. Appropriate controls must then be establis...
