Michael Minns

Michael Minns established his Human Resources consultancy in 1983 specialising in recruitment, Enterprise Agreements, organisational development, learning & development to develop a productive workplace culture in Greenfield and Brownfield sites.

Michael has developed a three-dimensional selection system which differs from traditional selection processes on a number of important counts:

• allows for multiple hiring

• peers and mine managers are utilised in the recruitment process

• the critical competency dimensions are

- Behaviours, attitude and values

- Individual skills and/or trainability, and

- Personal motivation and cultural fit

A guiding principle is to hire for attitude first not skills – this is a valuable approach in the current skills shortage impacting on coal mine operations in NSW and Queensland.
