"Newmont's greatest strength has always been its people, who commit themselves each day to work in partnership with local communities, to protect and preserve surrounding environments, and to ensure and promote a culture of health and safety in the workplace."
- Richard O'Brien, president and CEO
Newmont has a global work force of about 34,300 employees and contractors. We invest deeply in these individuals to create a workplace culture that fosters leaders and enables each person to succeed in their position and grow in their career.
We have high expectations for our employees and contractors. We expect them to act with integrity and respect. We expect that they act as responsible stewards of the environment, and as examples of safety in the workplace. We believe that they are Newmont ambassadors to the communities in which they work, and many of them go beyond their duties to volunteer in their local communities.
Only by being an employer of choice can Newmont attract the best and the brightest. Our holistic approach to human resources recognizes that many factors beyond remuneration contribute to employee well-being. Our "total reward strategy" balances all of the contributors to employee satisfaction, including career development, pay and benefits. Over the past few years, we have greatly enhanced the career development framework to better assist employees in reaching their full potential.
We are accountable for fair and equitable treatment of all our employees - including safeguarding their working conditions and human rights. With operations around the globe, cultural sensitivity is the foundation for our human resources efforts. We adapt practices to local cultures, norms and regulations. We create policies on hiring practices, compensation and overtime that are consistent with customs in each country where they apply.
We continuously gather employee input on how to improve our work environment. We have global teams in place to facilitate employee communication to address issues, further improve engagement and share best practices. Following a 2009 global employee engagement survey, we made significant progress in addressing three key areas of improvement: Operating Efficiencies, Career Development and Empowerment.
