With the merger of Newmont, Normandy Mining Limited and Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation in 2002, Newmont became the world's largest gold mining company. The process of transforming from good to great has begun by blending together the best from each of the three organizations to create even greater value. The new Newmont will drive inefficiencies out of the company and will strive to be the ONE gold company - the industry leader.

Each employee is expected to be a leader and to hold each other accountable for safety, stewardship of the environment and joint social responsibility to our neighbors and communities.

Our vision of "Creating Value with Every Ounce" is accomplished, in part, by using a systematic process to fit the right person, in the right job, at the right time, in the right way. We attract A+ employees by offering the best mix of opportunity and career satisfaction.

The cornerstone of Employee development is set in Newmont's commitment to "Develop the best people in pursuit of excellence." This value indicates the dedication and commitment that Newmont has towards developing all personnel in order to build the "best people".

Development Planning - Newmont strives to continuously improve and provide strategic development opportunities for our greatest asset, our people. Newmont has recently begun the deployment of a newly defined global Management Curriculum that seeks to build management and leadership skills throughout the organization.

Performance Management - Newmont strives to achieve an integrated approach to employee performance management and development by linking key competency expectations to the company's goals, values, and management philosophy. The focus on people development includes an obligation to helping employees understand their talents and finding productive avenues for unleashing them.

Employees and their managers work together to define key objectives during the first part of every calendar year, continuously track alignment to the Newmont values and key objectives during the year, and formally review performance at year's end. An employee's objectives and value performance assessments are used for compensation decisions including annual bonus and merit-based pay increases.

Succession Planning - Newmont has a formal and structured succession planning process. The succession planning process enables Newmont to track and manage movement of personnel within strategic positions at Newmont. The Succession Planning processes are based on gearing employee development towards internal growth of personnel to fill future position openings with internally developed talent.

Gold Medal Performance - An employee-based initiative aimed at systematically driving inefficiencies out of the entire company.

This program aims to provide significant improvement to business processes which are expected to translate into enhanced safety performance, cost savings, environmental improvements, and better relations with stakeholders.

In order to achieve these benefits, Newmont has begun utilizing the Change Acceleration Process (CAP). CAP is based on an initiative developed by General Electric Corporation and shared with Newmont as a strategic GE customer. CAP provides a necessary set of tools to aid employees in identifying required changes, a plan for change, and systems and structures to make the changes last. Each employee is trained in using these tools.
