Practitioners and HR program students are welcome. No cost. Please RSVP if you intend to attend a seminar (so we can be certain we have enough seats, and we can let you know if there is a late change in the details of the event.)

The mining employers are developing and implementing sophisticated employment and safety management practices years ahead of the broader labour market.
