Gold Fields Launches Employee Housing Programme in Blybank and Glenharvie
On the 10th June 2009 Gold Fields officially opened its new Employee Housing Programme in the communities of Glenharvie and Blybank on the West Rand in South Africa.
This programme consists of 192 family homes which will be occupied by employees of the Driefontein and Kloof Gold Mines.
The total cost of Gold Fields’ continuing programme to renovate housing, upgrade all single accommodation villages and construct new family homes is approximately R550 million.
Of the 192 family homes handed over on the 10th June, 100 units are located in the Blybank community, for occupation by Driefontein employees, and 92 are located in the Glenharvie community, for occupation by Kloof employees. All of the homes will, by the end of June, be ready for allocation to Gold Fields employees and their families.
The Employee Housing Programme is part of Gold Fields’ total well-being programme called “24 Hours in the Life of a Gold Fields Employee in the South African Region”. This programme is designed to improve every facet of the health and well-being of employees, and addresses the key issues of safe production, health care, nutrition, accommodation, sport and recreation, and education and training.
“We believe that Gold Fields’ people are the company’s most valuable asset. With that in mind, we have created the 24 Hours Well-being
Programme that promotes wellness through accommodation, nutrition, health, sport and recreation, learning and, above all, safety
throughout the 24-hours of each day.”
