Merafe Resources Integrated Annual Report 2018

MERAFE RESOURCES INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 30 Human capital includes health, safety knowledge, skills, intellectual outputs, motivation and the capacity for relationships of individuals. Organisations depend on individuals to function. We need a healthy, motivated and skilled workforce. Intellectual capital and knowledge management is also recognised as a key intangible creator of wealth. Damaging human capital by abuse of human rights or labour rights or compromising health and safety has financial and reputational costs. The Venture enhances its human capital by: • giving employees and community members access to training, development and lifelong learning, and capturing and sharing knowledge; • ensuring adequate safety arrangements are in place; and • incentives and remuneration. Stakeholder impact and engagement with stakeholders The stakeholders most affected by the ability of Merafe and the Venture to keep our employees safe and healthy are their families and dependants. PERFORMANCE HUMAN CAPITAL MATERIAL ISSUES • The safety and health of our employees and our contractors • The training and development of our employees and our contractors • Fair remuneration The Venture believes in the possibility of a zero harm operation. We believe that all occupational diseases and injuries can be prevented and that therefore, we must all take responsibility to avoid occupational diseases and injuries.
