Women in Mining: Strategies to accelerate the integration of women
PURPOSE OF THIS PRESENTATION• To briefly cover industry challenges
• Share the Kumba Iron Ore journey
• Stimulate dialogue about sustainable solutions
THE CHALLENGES
REASONS WHY COMPANIESFAIL TO TRANSFORMCommitment at the top does not always translate into effective execution by middle management
Not focussing on the ‘right things’
Mind-sets are slow to change
‘Blanket’ rather than ‘tailored’ solutions
The focus is on getting top management’s support, while middle management is overlooked and ill-equipped.
Failure to focus on the real challenges, and not involving the right target audiences, results in failure.Values, assumptions and beliefs need to change before behaviours can.
One size does not fit all…tailor initiatives for the context.
