Posted on by

According to a report by the Semiconductor Industry Association, the global semiconductor market reached a record high of $464 billion in 2020, and is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. [X] This growth has been fueled by the increasing demand for semiconductor-enabled technologies, such as smartphones, laptops, and data centers.

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.

Posted on by

Back in 2013, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson authored the book “Remote: Office Not Required”, praised by critics as a “compulsively readable case for a radically remote workplace”. While “Remote” was a concept that we at TPD gravitated towards early on, generally I’d consider it before its time. It has only been since the COVID-19 pandemic that we’ve seen a significant shift in organizations adopting the remote-first approach.
