Build a Performance Management Strategy to Engage, Retain, and Motivate Workers

With labor shortages prevalent in the mining industry, companies are investing more resources in employee engagement in an effort to retain and attract talent. However, many are going beyond the traditional yearly appraisal, exploring more dynamic approaches to performance management.

Held to strict industry standards, including on-site safety, occupational health, and regulatory compliance, it’s critical that mining operators identify and resolve performance issues quickly to avoid any breaches, fines, and damage to their organization’s reputation.

By connecting employee goals, performance assessment metrics, and feedback to the company’s larger goals, employees at all organizational levels can be better aligned, understand their impact, and stay engaged long-term.

Key Client Challenges:

Beyond a yearly appraisal, how do we effectively define and track our employees’ performance?
What are the best tools, methods, and best practices for providing feedback and how can we better motivate and engage our workers?
How do we facilitate training workshops for employees and assess their performance in applying their training over time?
How do we better link our employee KPIs to our company’s strategic goals?
How can we improve employee behaviors, particularly in complying with safety standards and environmental regulations?

Key Indicators in Performance Management

Tracking, measuring, and managing mine performance can be challenging with the complexities of mining value chains, which often involve multiple stakeholders, teams and departments.

Clear communication between teams and with employees is crucial as well as setting objective, measurable expectations to avoid disputes and interruptions to mine operations.

The following indicators can be used to manage the performance of your mining operations:

Tons mined
Recovery rate
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Labor productivity
Employee turnover rate
Equipment downtime
Return on investment
