Over two days in March, Resolute trained over 50 employees on Canada’s Modern Slavery Act. Enacted in January, the Act is aimed at fighting forced and child labour by identifying and eradicating situations of exploitation from corporate supply chains.
It’s one of several ethics, human rights and sustainability-focused trainings we provide our employees, supporting and strengthening our corporate governance.
Sustainability training
Over the past 17 months, the company organized training sessions for several groups on the structures, policies and rules related to our environmental, social and governance (ESG) work. Regular training covers the basics of ESG, while additional workshops focus on topics such as climate change, carbon emissions and corporate sustainability reporting.
Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is an important tool for guiding our employees to uphold our high standards of integrity, ethics and compliance. Last year, as part of a long-established commitment, we trained 100% of new employees on the code. Tracking attendance is one of the 56 public commitments reported on the company’s website.
Enhancing work processes
Developing a better understanding of unconscious biases helps create a better workplace. That’s why many of our leaders were trained to recognize and address their own biases. Managers were also trained on how to empower employees to hold themselves and their colleagues accountable for their performance and commitments.
And as part of The Excellence Way asset performance initiative, we are providing Lean Six Sigma® Yellow Belt training to specific employees from our operations and corporate offices on the basics of continuous improvement.
IT training
Our ability to leverage technology to its fullest potential drives our IT training initiatives. Over the past year, our employees collectively dedicated over 5,700 hours learning and mastering Microsoft 365 applications.
Our long-term competitiveness is tied not only to our ability to recruit and retain top talent; it also hinges on the development opportunities and skills training we provide our employees.
