Local Hiring and Skills Development

One of our greatest opportunities to contribute to local communities is through local employment and capacity building. Local employment directly contributes to the economic and social development of surrounding communities. Hiring locally also incorporates local cultures and knowledge into our company which can strengthen our programs.

Hiring locally is a commitment we make to the communities surrounding our operations and to our host countries. Most people employed at our operations are host country nationals. We retain expatriate expertise for managerial and technical roles only when it is not available in local communities. To further these efforts, expatriates receive cultural training upon their arrival to a new location. On average, ex-pats represent less than 1% of people employed at our operations globally.
