The Talent Cliff on the Horizon
Women make up roughly 15% of the global mining workforce — and far fewer hold leadership positions, especially in technical and operational roles. The industry faces a global talent shortage at the same time as it loses women at 10–11% per year, nearly double the turnover rate of male employees. Turnover runs highest among high-potential employees: the women most likely to be recruited are exactly the ones you can least afford to lose. Attraction alone hasn’t solved this problem. The organizations getting ahead of this are the ones investing visibly in developing and advancing the high potential women they already have. Why partner instead of build? Leading mining and resource companies choose WLI over internal L&D programming because it saves them the time and cost of developing in-house expertise in women’s leadership development — and because generic leadership programs, designed for head-office environments, don’t hold up in operational settings. WLI does the ongoing research and program development to keep this work current, relevant, and built for your reality of shift schedules, remote sites, technical career paths, and male-dominated teams.
Organizational Challenges:
Measurably stronger retention of high-potential women A visible, credible commitment to advancing women — to your workforce, your board, and your stakeholders A growing internal network of women leaders who sponsor the ones coming up behind them Succession-ready women leaders for technical, operational, and strategic roles What Your Organization Gains: Generic leadership programs that don’t fit operational and site-based environments No internal capacity to build specialized women’s leadership programming Losing high-potential women to competitors in a tight talent market Representation and inclusion commitments without a credible development strategy behind them
98% of participants were better equipped to promote an inclusive culture within their organization
