InTouch

Staying connected with loved ones while working on a mining site can be challenging, but with the right tools, it is possible. Managing your roster and personal events can also be tricky when you are away from home for long periods. One solution is to use a centralised platform, such as a digital calendar or scheduling app, to keep track of all your commitments and stay organised.

An opportunity to focus on supporting remote workers and their families presents immense potential for expansion into additional markets and demographics. The need for centralised communication platforms and roster management systems extends far beyond just the mining industry and can benefit any remote worker, such as offshore oil rig workers, seafarers, and military personnel

In short

The project aims to enhance the well-being of mining site workers by developing a centralised communication platform that allows them to stay in touch with their loved ones at home. Additionally, the project aims to create a roster and personal event management system that can help workers manage their work schedules and personal appointments. Ultimately, the project seeks to promote worker well-being by providing workers with the tools and support they need to manage their work and personal lives effectively, as well as implementing policies and practices that promote worker well-being on mining sites.
