Traditionally, human resources management in the mining sector had a workforce strategy that echoed the “boom or bust” nature of the industry. Now, in addition to the pre-existing skill shortage in mining, HR managers have to face fierce competition in newly started LNG construction projects that have both the “bucks” and the “must have on the CV” reputation. This shift has forced major project managers, as well as HR professionals, to rethink their approach on planning, attracting and retaining skilled staff on mining projects.
