Employee turnover and training
Employee turnover is a measure of our
success in retaining our people. Our
long-term interests rely on our ability
to attract and retain the best people,
at every level, with appropriate skills.
Voluntary turnover is calculated as
a percentage of total permanent
employees (excluding contractors).
In 2010, voluntary turnover, which excludes
compulsory redundancies or performancerelated
terminations, was 11% higher than
in 2009.
We aim to provide employees with the
resources they require to progress in their
careers and excel. We provide career
development opportunities, access to
training and skills development.

Ongoing training and education is
conducted both in the workplace and at
external institutions. Both training hours
and training spend are shown as an
average per employee including contractors
and is shown for all available periods.
In 2010, the number of hours of training
that each employee participated in
increased compared to the previous year.
The average amount spent on training per
employee was lower than the previous year,
mainly as a result of increased in-house
training programmes as opposed to
using the services of external training
service providers.

Xstrata sets aside a minimum of 1% of
annual Group profit before tax to fund

We also calculate the total value of in-kind
contributions such as equipment and

of Group profit before tax and contributed
a total of $83 million, including $2 million of
in-kind contributions, to support initiatives
that benefit the communities in which we
operate. In 2010, $45 million funded social
and community development projects,
$16 million was spent on education initiatives,

programmes, $6 million on health projects,
