Alamos Gold Inc
Our People
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
As Alamos has grown into a multi-mine company with operations and projects in Canada, Mexico, Turkey and the USA, we have not lost sight of the fact that our people are our most valuable asset. We seek to recruit the best, and to train our employees for rewarding careers with Alamos.
We treat our people fairly and without discrimination, with full regard for their human rights. We know that our success depends on their efforts, and in return we strive to maintain a safety-aware work culture in which everyone is continually reminded of the importance of keeping themselves and their colleagues healthy and injury-free.
Employee Engagement
Our business success depends on our ability to recruit and retain the most promising employees – people who share our commitment to sustainable development that benefits all stakeholders.
We take great care in every step of the employment process, with emphasis on equality, diversity, workplace safety and employee welfare.
The vast majority of Alamos employees are employed full-time, in Canada, Mexico, Turkey and the United States.
From the global employee engagement survey conducted in 2013, our employees in Mexico and at the Toronto head office helped shape local programs and policies including employee recognition programs for tenure, safety and innovation.
Local Hiring
We actively pursue the hiring of local people, in support of our efforts to develop and maintain positive relationships with our host communities and countries. To attract strong candidates, we pay above-average starting wages. At our Mulatos mine, approximately 80% of management and 100% of our non-management employees are hired from Mexico. In Turkey, all our employees are hired within Turkey. The same hiring practices apply at our projects in Canada, the USA and Mexico.
We put a priority on using locally sourced products and services whenever practical, to benefit the regional economy. We wish to ensure that our presence in the local and regional economy provides the maximum in direct, economic, and social benefits to individuals, their families and other community members.
Health and Safety
We invest heavily in creating and maintaining a safe, healthy working environment at all our mines and development projects. Our primary goal is to achieve a zero-accident workplace.
In 2015, the Mulatos mine broke all company safety records, with over three million hours without a lost time accident.
Visible, Felt Leadership
Our safety commitment is to “Visible, Felt Leadership” to create a culture that encourages safety-first behaviour and interactions in all aspects of our work and daily lives.
