What Will It Take To Keep Women in Mining and Create a Truly Diverse and Inclusive Industry?
Abstract: Women are underrepresented at all levels within mining companies, and account for less than 17% of the mining workforce globally. But we know that teams that are diverse are measurably more productive, and tend to have better safety records. Diversity promotes creativity and strategic resilience, and mining companies will need both if they are to be successful in meeting the broadening challenges facing the industry today, from digital and analytics disruption to sustainability and decarbonization. So – what are we to do? This panel will explore ideas from the mining industry and beyond, not only to attract more women into the sector, but also to make sure that once hired, women stay, advance professionally, and bring the best of themselves to the companies in which they work.
