Our 10,478 employees, who can be found at operations around the world from northern Manitoba to the United Kingdom to the islands of the South Pacific, are the backbone and the heart of our company. Whether involved in research and development, exploration, mining and processing or worldwide marketing, our people are the source of our success. Their contribution to our company is great.
In return, Inco strives to be an employer of choice, offering career challenges, competitive compensation and benefits and growth opportunities.
We also endeavour to offer a culture built on open dialogue and trust. Whether dealing with individual employees or with the various independent trade unions which represent 74 per cent of our workforce, we place a high priority on developing mutually respectful relationships with all our people.
