Human Resources Planning

Adam Lidd participates in a Heavy Equipment Operator Training Program.
Heavy Equipment Operator simulator training session in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
In 2003, we worked to develop a comprehensive human resources plan to set out the general approach that will be followed to prepare for operations. This plan articulates the vision, values and human resource philosophy guiding the organization, and the workforce development strategy that will ensure a smooth transition from the construction to commissioning phase of the Voisey’s Bay project.

As part of the Human Resources Plan, we are developing specific initiatives aimed at facilitating and encouraging the employment of women particularly in non-traditional occupations. VBNC is fully committed to working collaboratively with individuals, governments and other stakeholders to advance gender diversity in our workplace.
