IGO Interactive Annual Report 2018

WA Mining Club scholarships IGO is very proud to support a number of initiatives to encourage and foster the development of the next generation of leaders within our mining sector. In FY18, IGO once again co-sponsored two WA Mining Club scholarships for Geology and Indigenous students. Our 2018 recipients were both female and we are proud of the fact that several of the past recipients and finalists are now working within our business, including our first Aboriginal apprentice at our Nova Operation. Aboriginal employment In FY18, we continued to actively support the employment of both Aboriginal people and others from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. We are proud to note that, during FY18, IGO has: • sponsored the first Ngadju student in preparation to commence university study in Geology; • supported a number of Ngadju apprenticeships; • employed our first female, Aboriginal apprentice at Nova; and • introduced Ngadju cultural competency workshops at Nova. We know, from the results that we have achieved in the last year, that continued improvement is possible through deliberate efforts to proactively include all employees in robust, transparent communications; leadership development and modelling; participatory work processes; cross-functional work experiences; and a focus on employee engagement on matters of diversity. In FY19, the Company will place additional emphasis on increasing the participation of the groups that continue to be under represented within the mining industry to create a fairer, more inclusive and more successful IGO. Further information on Diversity at IGO can be found in our Corporate Governance Statement on our website at www.igo.com.au . DEVELOPING OUR PEOPLE We believe that supporting our people to be the best that they can be is key to our success. Beyond just compliance training during the year, we pursued two key programs to strengthen our team: Learning for leaders In FY18, we continued our Leadership Development Program with the Certificate IV in Leadership & Management courses and also introduced a mini-MBA course for mid-level managers run by the Australian Institute of Management in Perth. Further, many of our leaders participated in an Unconscious Bias course to raise awareness of both conscious and unconscious bias in both the recruitment process and our daily interactions. Feedback from the courses has been very positive with robust and open conversation on this topic and its impact in the workplace. This structured learning has helped our people to understand how they can make a difference to their own and others work environments. Celebrating success In FY18, greater focus was given to celebrating individual and team success across the business. All business units made recognition and celebration of the behaviours and achievements that drive the success of our business a priority. Each year the annual IGO Awards are a culmination of this recognition, designed to celebrate outstanding contributions by our people across the business. Awards include Excellence in Geoscience, Metallurgy, Technical Services, and Business Support along with awards for Safety and Diversity Champions, Business Innovation and the CEO’s Emerging Leader.
