Coping with Mining Talent Shortages (The Challenge)

• Replenishing the workforce with qualified talent will remain an immense challenge.
• High rates of turnover erode consistency and quality, and undermine execution of long-term programs to improve
performance.
• Lack of manpower is affecting miners’ ability to execute their capital projects.
• The aging workforce limits the industry’s ability to satisfy global demand. It is not unusual to encounter retirees—in
their 60s, 70s, even 80s—called back to work. Australia illustrates the challenge: The median age in mining in
Western Australia is 38 years, with more than half of workers in the 24 to 54 age range.
• The Canadian Mining Industry Human Resource Council estimates that more than a third of the industry (61,000 to
71,000 workers) may retire in the next 10 years. The council estimates that the industry will need more than
140,000 new hires by 2021 if growth continues to accelerate.

Improve retention through employee engagement

How to Fill the Labour Gap for Mining and Construction Industries

STRATEGY.DISCIPLINE.EXECUTION.
What is behind the labour gap?
Dynamics of a truly globalized mining sector
Continued and increasing global demand for resources
Surge in global mining activities
Work force that is much more transient than in other industries
Job opportunities in Canada stand in direct competition with opportunities globally
Demographic changes
Ageing mining workforce
Decrease in the number of students training within this field
Inefficient immigration system
Current system is not bringing selected candidates into the country fast enough
Ongoing debate over who should have authority over the immigration system

Competition, demographics, immigration
How to overcome the labour gap?
Be an employer of choice
Investing in your corporate brand as an employer of choice requires an integrated approach to marketing, communications, HR and corporate social responsibility
Offer best-in-class training, technology and opportunities for career growth
Engage with the talent of tomorrow
Invest in education and build strategic partnerships with schools
Offer opportunities for students to gain experience through summer jobs, co-op programs, internship and graduate programs
Rethink the immigration process
Just as much as Canadian companies are competing for talent globally, Canada’s immigration system is directly competing with that of other countries
Give more decision-making power to the provinces and industry
Have the federal immigration system focus on security-related background checks only, allowing for substantially lower processing times
15
Invest, engage, rethink

Immigration: Part of the Labour Solution
While developing our domestic workforce is critical, many companies will need to recruit foreign talent to meet their immediate and projected labour needs.
BC Construction Council: Of the 320,000 new construction workers needed by 2020, half will need to come from overseas.
BC Labour Market Outlook: Between 2010-2020, BC will have one million job openings. One third of job openings are expected to be filled by immigrants.
The USA and Latin America are key source countries for Foreign Talent
USA and Mexico – Canada’s top source countries for temporary foreign workers
Over 40% of Landed Permanent Residents in 2011 from the Americas have post-secondary education – i.e. diploma, trade certificate, university
USA, Mexico and Brazil in top 10 source countries for foreign students attending our universities and colleges
