Can mining companies afford not to invest in the health and wellbeing of their workforce?

Posted in Mining Camp - No Comments

Australian and international studies continue to provide compelling evidence supporting the value of workplace health and wellbeing initiatives. WorkSafe in the Australian Capital Territory commented recently on evidence supporting the positive impact such initiatives can have on physical, mental and social wellbeing amongst workers.

Aside from their many and stringent legal obligations, it seems many employers are now recognizing a social obligation to their workforce and are becoming increasingly engaged in assisting their workers to manage their health and wellbeing. Improved accommodation, facilities and living conditions are key components of ensuring improved health and wellbeing for workers.

Employers should be motivated also by the opportunity it presents to improve their business performance. Improved health and wellbeing can result in improved safety performance, greater job satisfaction, reduced staff-related costs, higher individual productivity and ultimately, a healthier bottom line.

With attraction and retention of staff being a critical issue for organisations facing skill shortages or looking to engage the best staff, URBANCOLLECTIVE believe that a focus on improved accommodation solutions for mining camps may well make the difference. Would you prefer to work for a company that provides ‘dongas’ as your accommodation or alternatively a company that provides modular accommodation solutions that are contemporary in design and have an equivalent design and comfort level to a modern studio apartment?

URBANCOLLECTIVE offer a revolutionary alternative to traditional mining camp accommodation. Utilising the benefits of modular design and prefabrication, we create contemporary, functional and sustainable living spaces for workers accommodation.
