Our approach to labour relations is grounded in fairness, transparency, and mutual respect. We are committed to upholding employee rights, fair remuneration, continuous skills development, and a workplace culture that prioritises engagement and well-being. Every employee at Blanket Mine has the freedom to associate, organise, and be represented by a trade union of their choice, in line with Zimbabwean labour laws. We welcome strong worker representation as a fundamental part of ensuring fair workplace policies, equitable treatment, and a transparent grievance resolution process. We maintain open and constructive relationships with employee representatives, ensuring that concerns are addressed proactively.
Ensuring that our employees are fairly and competitively compensated is a core priority. At Blanket Mine, salaries exceed the statutory minimum for the Zimbabwean mining sector and all wages are paid in US dollars, protecting employees from local currency fluctuations and economic volatility.
In addition to base salaries, we reward performance through incentive schemes that recognise operational excellence and responsible workplace practices. Performance-based rewards focus on key metrics such as safety, health, environmental performance, production efficiency, and cost management.
A well-trained workforce is essential to both our long-term business success and the personal career progression of our employees. We consistently invest in upskilling, technical training, and leadership development to ensure that employees are equipped for current and future industry demands. Our training initiatives range from on-the-job shadowing and technical apprenticeships to formal training courses and professional development programmes.
At Caledonia, we believe that diversity is a driver of innovation, problem-solving, and long-term success. A workforce that reflects different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences enhances decision-making, fosters creativity, and strengthens resilience. We are committed to equal opportunities for all, ensuring that our hiring practices take a holistic approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
