      Strong focus on developing "high potential" plant managers

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong focus on safety has improved workplace safety issues. Safety program is "top down" rather than being driven by the workforce.

      Cons

      Executive management focuses personnel development efforts on young "high potential" employees, who have little or no managerial experience before assuming roles as general managers of departments (mine, smelter, etc.). These individuals also rotate relatively rapidly between plants, and nearly all have strong desires to advance their personal careers. Majority of workforce receives minimal development attention.

      It all comes down to management

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong on career development and providing employees with the opportunity to get knowledge from across the business. Good company if want to work overseas.

      Cons

      There are many layers of management and some central service departs are silos of bureaucracy. Can be very slow at making simple decisions as the culture if very 'softly softly' when comes down to changing the status quo.
