DCM is committed to continually improving our organisation’s effectiveness and efficiency through planned systemic change processes by designing, sourcing and implementing appropriate solutions and interventions to measurably enable the organisation to optimise its purpose and strategy.

Our strategy focuses on the significant shortage of critical core skills and growing the skills base of all stakeholders. Emphasis is placed on the development of candidates as part of the overall HR strategy to achieve HDSA and WIM targets. DCM is committed to ensure that its stakeholders are given the opportunity of acquiring skills and competencies to achieve both individual and organisational goals in the context of both the mine’s operational objectives and the Local Economic Development (LED) objectives. This Skills Development Plan affords stakeholders the opportunity to participate in bursaries, learnerships and skills development programmes and various other training initiatives.

Succession Planning

It is a business imperative for DCM to create and maintain an effective Succession Planning process for the supply of high potential and performing current and future talent in order to support the Human Resources Strategy. The objective of this procedure is to provide a framework for the development and growth of talented employees for the organisation, thereby ensuring that the business has adequate talent to sustain the success of the business into the future; as well as ensuring sufficient management and leadership succession capacity in the organisation.

Talent management

This policy supports the Human Resources strategy and provides structure to talent management as an integral part of Human Resources Development and promotes an environment where talent can thrive and be productive. It furthermore supports the principles of employment equity and transformation by ensuring that talented and committed employees from designated groups will be exposed to development opportunities in a fair and consistent manner.
