en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chile's National Mining Company (Enami) recently completed the certification for its 2025-2026 Operational Leadership Program, with 65 supervisors and professionals receiving their certificates. The program aims to strengthen employees' key competencies in safety, commitment, and forward-looking vision to address the company's current and future operational challenges.
The certification ceremony was held at the Paipote Training Center. Former world top-five tennis player Fernando González, Regional Presidential Representative Sofía Cid, Enami Executive Vice President Juan Carlos Sáez, and Atacama Regional Minister of Mining and Economy Jonathan Carmona attended the event. During the event, González shared insights on leadership, teamwork, strategic management, and resilience in the face of failure, emphasizing that the core of workplace relationships lies in team collaboration, respecting each other's responsibilities, and making no excuses.
Since its launch in 2025, the program has completed several core tasks, including designing the Enami Leadership Model, holding leadership and operational excellence workshops, conducting one-on-one coaching sessions, building practical leadership tools, and compiling the "Enami Leader's Handbook." Executive Vice President Sáez pointed out that the only way to achieve the performance the company requires is through operational excellence, which necessitates cultivating leaders who understand the company's objectives, value safety, and possess risk management capabilities. He further explained that risks must first be identified, then managed, and ultimately operational excellence is achieved through the continuous improvement of execution metrics.
This round of certification covered positions including executive management, director level, operations and maintenance supervisors, shift supervisors, operational professionals, and operational excellence engineers. The training content encompassed competencies such as change management, effective communication and coordination, motivational and inclusive leadership, conflict management, operational safety, results orientation, organizational learning, and a comprehensive understanding of the business.
Participant representative Andrés Vallejos, Project Manager for the Temporary Partial Shutdown of the HVL Smelter, stated that thanks to the program, the team acquired practical tools to identify their weaknesses and make targeted improvements, thereby progressively achieving the operational excellence goals pursued by Enami. Atacama Regional Minister of Mining and Economy Carmona commented that this is an excellent initiative that helps inspire employee leadership and improve corporate performance and workplace atmosphere.
