Choose the right perspective
Match the company's scale and footprint to yours, since HR for a global producer with many sites runs differently from HR for a single-asset or development-stage miner. Also look at the roles each person held before the top HR job, such as site HR, labor relations or total rewards, when your question sits in one of those areas.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you split HR work between corporate and the mine sites, and what decisions stay local?
- 02What has worked best for attracting and keeping skilled workers at remote or fly-in, fly-out operations?
- 03How do you prepare for labor negotiations and keep relations steady with unions and local communities?
