FYI JC:
Caracal Goldβs people are the driving force behind our exploration and mining activities. We seek to treat our people fairly and with respect and ensure they have the opportunity to develop and reach their potential. We comply with the labour legislation where we work.
Over this reporting period, the capability of the team has been strengthened to match our organisational growth and expansion.
We work in areas where the unemployment rate is high and therefore local employment is an important part of sharing benefits with surrounding communities. Currently the Kilimapesa mine, employs a total of 485 people of which 94% are national Kenyan staff and 73% come directly from the neighbouring villages.
Learning and training activities are central to staff engagement, learning and development as such, we provide on-the-job training through an internship scheme that currently has 3 interns in Exploration, 1 in Human Resources, 1 in the store keeping and 2 in the processing plant.
We actively promote diversity in the workforce and are proud to have increased the number of female staff from 14 to 32 at the Kilimapesa mine. We also have 1 female board member.
