We believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect, no matter their role. This has earned us a loyal cadre of workers who form a solid foundation for operations in challenging local environments. We maintain a team of seven full-time employees in Sierra Leone. Some of these men have been with us since the beginning, others we have brought in as our operations have grown.
In addition to their regular salary, our employees receive profit-sharing bonuses, paid leave, health care for their families, and school fees for their children. We provide adult education classes to learn English and employees have the opportunity to develop additional skills and receive training to expand their capabilities.
In addition to our full-time team, we hire local laborers to assist with processing coltan on a weekly basis. Many of them have shown a capability and interest in learning the proper methods for blending, mixing, coning and quartering coltan, and we strive to hire the same workers each week.
We pay three times the daily wage they could earn elsewhere and give bonuses for returning for multiple-day efforts. Repeat work with us strengthens their own knowledge and skills, giving them the option to find similar work with other employers in the mining sector. As our company grows, we are extending full-time job opportunities to this chronically underemployed community.
