Employers
The success of any organization depends on its most valuable resource—people—and the Canadian mining industry is no exception. The efforts of workers have made the mining industry a major player in Canada's economy and a leader on the world stage.
Today's mining industry employers are facing some difficult human resources challenges:
- Matching supply and demand for workers
- Attracting, retaining, and transitioning workers
- Skills recognition
- Labour mobility
- Increased competition for top talent
- Lack of labour market information
MiHR can assist you with these challenges. Created by industry for industry, MiHR's mandate is to develop solutions tailored to the human resources needs of the mining sector through collaboration with mining industry employers and other communities of interest.
