Best practices for organizing training of employees of gold mining companies (based on the analysis of open information sources of gold mining enterprises of the Russian Federation)

Abstract

The modern mining industry is a technologically advanced sector that needs a skilled workforce. The global demand for relevant specialists poses complex challenges for many companies in the industry, and gold mining companies are no exception. The article analyzes the current practices of a number of leading gold mining companies to develop new models for organizing training and retraining of employees on the basis of open source sites of gold mining companies of the Russian Federation. The positive experience of Polyus and Polymetal companies in training employees is shown, thanks to which a continuous process of creating a team of professionals is carried out, whose skills have helped them to reach a leading position in the industry. The results of this analysis can be used at various levels of organization of personnel training at gold mining enterprises. The analysis of modern research has shown the paucity of information that reveals the specifics of training employees of gold mining companies, and our research is aimed at overcoming this gap. In order to determine the effective experience of gold mining enterprises in developing new models for organizing training and retraining of employees, this study analyzes the official websites of the leading gold mining companies in Russia-PJSC Polyus, Polymetal, JSC Chukotka SCC, JSC Yuzhuralzoloto, Petropavlovsk Group of Companies, JSC Pavlik, PJSC Susmanzoloto, and PJSC Seligdar.»
