How to Promote Diverse Hiring Practices in the Mining Industry

Posted on by

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is a strategic priority for leaders in the mining industry, and there is no disputing the business case for it. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that by 2029, more than half the current US mining workforce will be retired (approximately 221,000 workers) creating a significant skill and knowledge gap. Let’s look at gender diversity alone, women make up only 16% of the industry workforce, and if this imbalance continues it significantly reduces the talent pool likely to replace those retirees. Company values are increasingly important to potential employees, post COVID-19, 59% of employees are either changing or looking to change jobs to work with a company whose values align with their own. There is a clear need to incorporate diversity and inclusion measures throughout all aspects of business, and with mining conference season around the corner now is a great time to start the conversation.
