A case study
Achieving our goal of zero loss of life and, ultimately, zero harm is a formidable challenge but one we are determined to achieve. In tandem with improving systems and controls, we are changing behaviour in a complex and high-risk mining environment through an integrated approach to shared responsibility.
This is a cross-functional approach, with initiatives in key disciplines cascading up to a group-wide organisational effectiveness and improvement (OEI) programme that totalled R12.3 million in FY21 alone. This in turn is centred on our core values as an organisation that truly cares. We keenly understand that, without our 48 113 people, Harmony does not exist.
The coherent development of both the systemic and humanistic dimensions, as well as full integration with the Harmony safety strategy, are fundamental principles on which the business improvement programme is based.
Key to the programme over 2021-2023 is the sustainability and full integration of the humanistic transformation output, the Thibakotsi journey, illustrated below . Phases 3 and 4 are being implemented concurrently.
This company culture transformation framework has three key change drivers.
They are:
Building on the foundation laid in earlier years, the Thibakotsi journey was initiated in 2021. This focuses on improving employee behaviour as well as team and operational behaviour. Results to date prove that active leadership is making measurable progress in creating a proactive safety culture and an environment where all employees really live our values amid high levels of mutual trust, respect and hope. Working from the top down and bottom up simultaneously, we are entrenching the belief that zero loss of life is possible and that all employees and contracto rs are empowered to deliver it . This is illustrated in the gradual decline in our lost-time injury frequency rate.
"Safety starts with me and I behave safely in everything I do. Zero harm. Zero accidents. Zero fatalities. I am always alert to my colleagues’ safety"
