and the industry is in a bit of a slump , what are your thoughts on this ?
It ’ s certainly unarguable that the mining industry is currently in the midst of a significant downturn . However it ’ s Fircroft ’ s belief that there are also major opportunities and gains to be made through the implementation of new approaches and efficiencies in workforce management and planning .
We ’ ve achieved similar efficiencies in other sectors ( e . g . Oil & Gas ) during downturns , and we ’ re confident that with the combination of One Key ’ s detailed ‘ on-the-ground ’ knowledge , and Fircroft ’ s long-term expertise , we can achieve similar efficiencies for our clients in mining . While there continues to be a reduction in investment in new projects , existing mining projects are focused on productivity and cost reduction . This is the key area in which we can assist in the sector moving forward not only with our cost effective workforce management solutions but also through One Key ’ s innovative range of productivity improvement and proficiency training services .
