MineHR Competition

The aim of the competition is to popularize successful projects aimed at developing human resources to build a safer, smarter, and more efficient mining and metallurgical industry in Russia. We invite companies and universities to take part in the competition and present projects implemented in Russia and CIS. Participation in the competition is free but does not include admission to fee-paying events of the MINEX Russia Forum.

The competition is held in three categories

• Best educational project
• Best HR project

About MINEX HR competition

One of the lessons learnt by companies from the coronavirus crisis is that people are one of the most important assets. Successes and failures often depend on leaders and teams. Highly skilled, creative, and motivated individuals make geological discoveries and drive modernisation, increasing efficiency and shareholder value. Whereas miscalculations and human errors can result in serious economic losses, accidents, and environmental disasters.

The development of material assets should go hand in hand with the development of human resources. This requires closer collaboration between universities, HR departments, academic and research organisations, government agencies, and regulators.

• How to ensure the inflow of young, highly educated, and motivated people into the industry?
• How to educate and re-educate personnel in quickly changing economic conditions, society decarbonisation and “Industry 4.0” technological revolution?
• How to sustain production and ensure the health and safety of people during the spread of coronavirus?
• How can academia, universities, and businesses utilise more efficiently their resources to accelerate scientific and technological development?
• These and other important issues are being successfully addressed by the mining and metals industry in Russia and CIS.

To popularize advanced experience and technologies in the field of personnel management and training specialists for enterprises of the mining and metallurgical complex, MineHR competition is being organized within the framework of the MINEX Russia forum.
