“We have a lot of different benefits that we have brought on,” said Mr Ellison, whose company has a strict “no work from home policy”.
“Why have I done that? Because when I get them first thing in the morning, I want to hold them captive all day long. I don’t want them leaving the building.
“I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee. We kind of figured out a few years ago how much that costs.”
He said the rest of the mining industry should “get on board” with his thinking on the benefits of working in the office rather than at home.
“The industry cannot afford it. We can’t have people working three days a week and picking up five days a week pay – or four days.”
The company culture at Mining Resources also extends to Mr Ellison’s views on parents, with the company building a day-care centre on site big enough for 105 children.
“Another reason for them to come in and enjoy work,” he said.
“Drop their little tykes off next door. We have doctors on board and nurses who are going to feed them, but mum and dad will be working in our office.”
