Rio Tinto reviews

Senior management lacks necessary skills and business judgement in several key areas. Focus on safety is based on meeting metrics for STIP, not on instilling a safety ethic in employees. The business matrix that has been created operates to create and reinforce silos, pitting employees against one another and muddling business focus. Borders on unethical -- some safety metrics are fabricated, some strength-to-strength numbers, if ever audited, would be found to fall short of accurate. Emphasis on people is largely a PR effort. Local budgets cut while CEO and senior leaders fly off to places like Singapore for "meetings" which could be handled via conference calls.
