Case Study: Newcrest Mining achieves faster, safer site onboarding and multimillion‑dollar savings with SAP SuccessFactors Learning

How Does a Top Mining Company Expedite Site Training in Safety and Sustainability

Newcrest Mining, a Melbourne-based global gold and copper producer operating mines in three countries, faced the challenge of rapidly and consistently training new employees, contractors, and site visitors in safety, sustainability, and local community culture. To standardize engaging, mobile-first inductions and speed time-to-productivity, Newcrest implemented the SAP SuccessFactors Learning solution from vendor SAP SuccessFactors.

SAP SuccessFactors delivered online and mobile induction courses, personalized profiles and to‑do lists, and centralized learning content to improve safety awareness and operational readiness at sites. The solution drove measurable impact: US$1.6 million saved in initial site training costs in the first six months and an expected US$3.2 million in productivity savings over 12 months, while maintaining high engagement and faster onboarding.
