Harita Continuous Improvement (HCI) 2024 was officially closed with the awarding of the group level champion title. As a result, participants from Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) and Gane Permai Sentosa (GPS) clusters won first place with a proposal entitled “Duplication Efficiency in Production Sample Analysis using WD XRF in 2024.”
This proposal presents an innovation in the process of analyzing nickel laterite samples in the TBP laboratory using Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WD-XRF) technology, aiming to reduce process duplication. The innovation has not only succeeded in saving costs, but also has a positive impact on environmental sustainability, increased productivity and occupational health and safety.

TBP First Champion of Harita Continous Improvement 2024 Group Level

The holy month of Ramadan serves as a meaningful occasion for Insan Harita. Continuing its annual tradition, arita Nickel once again organized Safari Ramadan, fostering strong connections between management and employees across all business units at Site Pulau Obi, as well as the company’s representative offices in Labuha and Ternate.
Safari Ramadan 2025 was held over six days, beginning on March 11 at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), followed by PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) on March 12, PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) on March 13, and PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) on March 16.&nbsp;
The event extended beyond operational sites, reaching the Labuha Representative Office on March 17 and concluding at the Ternate Representative Office on March 18.

Beyond serving as an iftar gathering, Safari Ramadan acts as a platform for open dialogue and engagement between leadership and employees, reinforcing a collaborative and inclusive corporate culture.

Topan Prasetyo, Executive Business Control at Harita Nickel, highlighted the significance of this initiative, stating:

“Harita Nickel is not just a workplace, it is a home for all of us. This sense of togetherness makes us stronger, both in overcoming challenges and in achieving our shared goals,” said Topan.

Through Safari Ramadan 2025, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to fostering a positive work environment, enhancing internal collaboration, and supporting employee well-being, ensuring that Ramadan remains a time of connection and shared purpose within the organization.

He also highlighted Harita Nickel's key strategic achievements throughout 2024, including the successful completion of PT Obi Nickel Cobalt (ONC) construction, which is now fully operational with an annual production capacity of 65,000 tons of nickel. Additionally, the company’s recognition in the Fortune 100 Indonesia and Fortune 500 Southeast Asia rankings underscores its continued growth despite global economic uncertainties.

“The nickel industry is evolving rapidly, and we must maintain our competitiveness and operational sustainability while continuously innovating to remain a leading player in this sector. The diversity of our business units is our strength, and we must continue to strengthen synergy across all divisions,” he added.

Echoing the same sentiment, Dindin Makinudin, General Manager of CSR at Harita Nickel, emphasized the importance of fostering a strong sense of togetherness within the company.

“The spirit of Ramadan teaches us about unity and compassion. At Harita Nickel, we strive to uphold these values so that every employee feels like part of a larger family,” he stated.

Dindin also highlighted Harita Nickel’s key achievements in its Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) programs throughout 2024. The company successfully integrated 65 local entrepreneurs into its supply chain, developed women-led MSMEs with a total revenue of IDR 5.1 billion, and supported 420 farmers and fishermen through various empowerment initiatives.

As part of its commitment to preserving local wisdom and supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Harita Nickel also introduced PROPALA, a nutmeg-based processed product from North Maluku.

“Moving forward, Harita Nickel will continue to develop initiatives that create a positive impact on the community. Let us embrace the spirit of ‘Satu Harita, Memberi Makna’--working together, growing together, and driving meaningful change for the communities around us,” Dindin added.

With a workforce of over 22,000 employees across various business units, Safari Ramadan serves as a crucial platform for strengthening solidarity and corporate culture. This annual initiative reflects Harita Nickel’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and harmonious work environment, ensuring that the values of unity and collaboration remain deeply embedded in the organization.

Harita Nickel Strengthens Bonds Between Management and Employees Through Safari Ramadan 2025

As iftar approaches, the atmosphere at Harita Nickel’s worksite becomes more vibrant. The aroma of traditional Ramadan delicacies fills the air, while employees gather around stalls offering a variety of takjil (light meals for breaking the fast). The Ramadan Takjil Festival 2025, organized by Harita Nickel, has become a highly anticipated event for both employees and local vendors.
For Insan Harita (Harita employees), the festival is more than just a place to purchase iftar snacks, it fosters a sense of community and enhances the Ramadan experience within the workplace. Syatriawan Lagura, an Insan Harita from PT Karunia Permai Sentosa (KPS), shared his appreciation for the initiative, emphasizing how it creates a warm and festive atmosphere despite being away from family.

<img alt="Festival takjil" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/news_assets/Festival Takjil.png" title="Festival takjil">
<figcaption>Harita people flocked to buy takjil for iftar</figcaption>


“This festival brings excitement to the moments leading up to iftar. The variety of takjil available ensures that there is always something new to enjoy,” said Syatriawan. “Personally, I enjoy kue pelita, lalampa, panada, and es buah. A refreshing drink like es buah is essential after a full day of work and fasting,” he added.

Beyond enhancing employee engagement, the festival also delivers tangible economic benefits to local businesses. Rismiyati Fakaubun, a vendor from UMKM Desa Kawasi, highlighted the positive impact on small businesses in the region. Since early morning, she prepares a selection of North Maluku’s signature market snacks and fried delicacies to meet the high demand during the event.

“Alhamdulillah, since Harita Nickel introduced the Ramadan Takjil Festival, my sales have increased significantly. My products sell out daily, and my revenue continues to grow. This initiative has not only provided a great marketplace but also created a lively and supportive environment for local vendors,” said Rismiyati.

This year’s Ramadan Takjil Festival brings together 45 local vendors in collaboration with the company and contractors to provide iftar meals for more than 22,000 employees. Harita Nickel not only offers a strategic marketplace for these vendors but also ensures a comfortable and well-organized environment for both sellers and buyers.

Beyond the diverse selection of takjil, the festival fosters a lively atmosphere through interactions between employees and vendors. Many employees have their favorite go-to stalls, while some vendors become more familiar with customer preferences, allowing them to tailor their offerings. Some of the most popular items include fruit ice (es buah), traditional moist cakes (kue basah), and assorted fried snacks, which are consistently in high demand.

According to Windy Ashari, Community Development Supervisor at Harita Nickel, the initiative aims to support local economic growth while ensuring employees have easy access to quality and affordable iftar meals within the workplace.

“We want to make this Ramadan more meaningful, both for local vendors who benefit economically and for employees who can enjoy a comfortable iftar experience,” she stated.

Through the Ramadan Takjil Festival 2025, Harita Nickel not only contributes to the economic empowerment of local businesses but also fosters a warm and inclusive Ramadan atmosphere for its employees. This initiative will continue as part of the company’s commitment to supporting local economic development and maintaining a harmonious work environment that caters to employees’ well-being.

Ramadan Takjil Festival 2025: Harita Nickel Supports Local Economic Growth and Employee Well-Being

Red lanterns swayed gently in the evening breeze, casting a warm glow on the faces of employees gathered in celebration. At PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) futsal field, the crackling bonfire blended with laughter and cheerful conversations among employees. The rich aroma of traditional Chinese New Year cuisine filled the air, creating an inviting atmosphere of togetherness.
Around the long dining table, local and expatriate employees sat together, sharing a grand feast, stories, and happiness. There were no barriers, only laughter and a shared sense of unity that warmed the night.

On January 28, 2025, several Harita Nickel business units operating on Obi Island hosted this annual Chinese New Year event, a tradition eagerly awaited each year. For Harita Nickel, this event is more than just a routine celebration; it is a genuine reflection of the diversity and camaraderie that have become an integral part of the company’s culture.

As the night progressed, the Chinese New Year celebrations across Harita Nickel’s three business units reached their peak with a spectacular fireworks display. The vibrant lights lit up the sky over Obi Island, closing the evening with a symbol of hope and optimism for the new year.

For Insan Harita, Chinese New Year is more than just a celebration&mdash;it is a reflection of how diversity serves as a strength. Amid the demands of daily operations, there is always room to connect, share joy, and grow together. Harita Nickel remains committed to fostering an inclusive work environment, where every individual feels valued, respected, and part of one united family.

The Spirit of Unity and Diversity in Chinese New Year Celebration at Harita Nickel

In spite of the hustle and bustle of nickel mining and downstreaming activities on Obi Island, Harita Nickel strives to preserve the environment around its operations. Obi waters, which are directly adjacent to the company's operations are no exception. This is what Aldico Satria Ganesa, Harita Nickel's Marine Ecology Foreman, who is at the forefront of preserving Obi's aquatic ecosystem, is doing.
Together with his colleagues at the Environmental Marine division, he co-authored a scientific journal titled “Coral Recruitment Enhancement in Fish Shelter Media Composed of Fly Ash and Nickel Slag on Obi Island, South Halmahera.” This publication delves into the innovative use of reef cubes&mdash;specially engineered structures made from fly ash and nickel slag&mdash;that have been strategically introduced into the vibrant marine ecosystem of Obi Island. These reef cubes serve a dual purpose: providing safe havens for fish while fostering the growth of new coral reefs, a vital step toward rejuvenating the island's underwater biodiversity.

“We’re turning waste into wonder. By using fly ash and nickel slag&mdash;two byproducts of nickel production&mdash;we create reef cubes rich in Calcium Oxide (CaO), Magnesium Oxide (MgO), and Silica (SiO2). These compounds are the building blocks of calcification, the natural process that forms calcium minerals essential for coral reef growth. It’s a perfect blend of science and sustainability, giving marine ecosystems a chance to thrive,” Dico explained.&nbsp;

Working on this project since 2021, Harita Nickel's Marine Team has placed 1.871 reef cubes and discovered various types of corals with heights ranging from 2.41 to 12.90 cm in the Atol HJF reef cubes area and Pasturi Island. Several genera such as Acropora, Isopora, Pocillopora, Millepora, and Porites have shown significant growth. Not only that, monitoring over the past two years has recorded the presence of 24 families of fish around the reef cubes, with the Pomacentridae family accounting for 53% of the total observations, followed by Acanthuridae species and Abudefduf vaigiensis with fish sizes ranging from 0-5 cm and 16-20 cm.

"It's always enjoyable to monitor the coral reefs on Obi Island because we always find diverse marine life around the reef cubes. This is also a form of Harita Nickel's ESG commitment to maintaining the environmental ecosystem, especially the marine ecosystem, in good condition," he added.

In addition to monitoring coral reefs and other marine life around the reef cubes, a Marine Ecologist is also responsible for monitoring water quality to ensure it meets government standards, as well as monitoring coastal ecosystems such as mangroves.

"The mangrove rehabilitation program, which started in 2021, is equally impressive. We’ve already partnered with Khairun University to plant 71,466 mangrove seedlings in an area of 23.90 hectares. The planting locations are in several points: Soligi, Belang-Belang, Awanggoa, and Kayoa," said Aldico enthusiastically.

For Aldico, working as a Marine Ecology Foreman is a highly enjoyable experience, it feels like having an office in the ocean. Additionally, he often encounters schools of dolphins while monitoring the coral reefs, which serves as an indicator that the marine ecosystem in Harita Nickel's operational area is well preserved.

Aldico and his team's efforts prove that the mining industry, especially at Harita Nickel, is one that takes responsibility for its environment. The reef cubes and mangrove programs are clear examples of how technology and innovation can align with nature conservation.

Meet Aldico Satria Ganesa: Exploring the Vital Role of Reef Cubes and Marine Conservation Initiatives on Obi Island

The New Year 2025 was celebrated by Harita employees at the Obi Island Site with great joy and happiness. Everyone was immersed in the joy of leaving the year 2024 with all the milestones achieved. At the same time, everyone welcomed 2025 with new optimism and enthusiasm.
At the end of 2024 that night, all Harita Nickel business units at Obi held a celebration of the New Year 2025. Various events were held to enliven the New Year's Eve, which was celebrated in the spirit of togetherness as part of the Harita Nickel family.
Started with the business units that operate mining, including PT Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP) and PT Gane Permai Sentosa (GPS). Under the theme Vibra Nusantara, Loji Soundfest 2024 presents a different atmosphere from previous years. This year’s event combines contemporary music performances with traditional arts from North Maluku. A glorious entertainment stage, but still not leaving its cultural roots behind!
<img alt="31122024 tbp malam tahun baru 112 11zon" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/31122024_TBP MALAM TAHUN BARU_112_11zon.jpg" title="31122024 tbp malam tahun baru 112 11zon">
<figcaption>The Director of Operation of Harita Nickel also joined the Loji Soundfest 2024 stage to sing with Insan Harita who crowded the Nirwana green field.</figcaption>

The atmosphere was lightened when guest star rapper President Tidore performed with his hiphop music along with traditional dance. This was then followed by the performance of Alan Darmawan, singer of the mandatory mining workers' song “100 Million”, whose lyrics were modified from “Tambang Kao Malifut” to “Tambang Obi Kawasi”, inviting everyone to dance along to the rhythm of wayase. Suddenly, the green field of Nirwana was filled with a crowd of Insan Harita who melted in joy under the spotlight of flickering lights and soaring music.
 
New Year's Eve festivities were also held at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) and PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP), where the entertainment stages became a gathering point for employees to celebrate the new year with their coworkers on site.
 
Saifullah Nijar, Chairman of the Loji Soundfest 2024 Committee, said the Vibra Nusantara theme promoted this year carries the spirit that differences are not a barrier to collaboration - the main theme of Harita Nickel in 2025. Instead, the cultural diversity of each Harita employee, who comes from various regions in Indonesia, becomes an asset to realize a shared dream, which is to advance the company.
 
“Loji Soundfest is a way of expressing our gratitude for having made it through 2024 with various satisfying achievements. As mentioned by the management, production in 2024 can even exceed the target, and also other achievements,” said Gus Ipul, Saifullah Nijar's close nickname.
 
“Of course, we will not just stop here. Moreover, many challenges await us in 2025. One of them is to welcome the implementation of IRMA standards in all our operational activities at site. All of this requires cooperation and collaboration from all stakeholders,” he said, optimistic that the challenges ahead can be addressed even better thanks to solid team collaboration.

It is said, Herophoria and also other activities held by the Industrial Relations division by cooperating with Heronickel, is nothing but a place to build a sense of togetherness and foster the spirit of hard work of employees in the midst of a tight work routine. 
The initiative of Insan Harita in each business unit to hold New Year's celebration activities received appreciation from the management. Deputy Head of Technical Support Department of OST, Amiruddin, in his remarks said that the New Year's welcoming event, which was packed with nuances of joy and togetherness, was part of the implementation of HARITA's Core Values. He hopes that employees can continue to improve their capacity and more importantly, work with a safe and comfortable working environment. Amir also specifically appreciated the solid partnership with Lygend Resources, which has jointly realized the mandate of nickel downstream from the Indonesian government.
 
“Harita Nickel's partnership with Lygend Resouces is the cooperation of two friendly countries in realizing the mandate of the Indonesian government for nickel downstream,” he said, adding 'One of the proud achievements in 2024, for example from the production department was able to exceed the target, an additional 2 HJF lines and 1 line for KPS,' and invited all employees to present more improvements in 2025 and the coming years.”

Insan Harita Welcomes 2025 with New Hope and Optimism

The Harita Continuous Improvement (HCI) program, themed “One Harita, One Creation, One Vision”, has entered its implementation phase. Innovative ideas proposed by participants whose proposals passed the selection process are now being tested for feasibility in the field before being presented to the judges.
Gatra Pinem, Business Control Improvement Manager at Harita Nickel and the program coordinator, stated that the implementation phase involves 36 participants whose proposals were selected at the business unit level.
 
The proposals were grouped into four clusters: PT Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP); PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP); a combined cluster of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), PT Obi Nickel Cobalt (ONC), and PT Dharma Cipta Mulia (DCM); and another combined cluster of PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), PT Karunia Permai Sentosa (KPS), and PT Obi Sinar Timur (OST).
 
During the implementation phase, genba observation, or direct field observation, is conducted. Facilitators from each business unit support participants in implementing their innovative ideas by observing the locations or subjects involved in their proposals. The observation process covers the innovation workflow, the tools utilized, and the results achieved.
 
“This genba observation also serves to provide feedback and refine the outputs before each participant presents their proposals to the judges in November,” Gatra explained.
 
In TBP, facilitators visited the nickel ore sample testing laboratory to observe the implementation of two proposals: “Efficiency Through Duplication in Production Sample Analysis Using WD-XRF in 2024” and “Optimization of ED-XRF Epsilon 4 Instruments for Nickel Ore Sample Analysis”. Facilitators also observed a project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) titled “Utilizing Plastic Waste as Biofilter Media”.
 
“Nine proposals from TBP advanced to the implementation phase. Our role as facilitators is to assist participants from brainstorming their proposals to field implementation and preparation for presentations,” said Reza Febri, an HCI facilitator at TBP.
 
Similar genba observations have also been conducted at other business units. By the second week of September 2024, all units had completed their field observations and participant mentoring for HCI.
 
Launched in early June 2024, the HCI program aims to capture innovative ideas from Harita employees. These innovations target improving productivity, cost efficiency, performance in health and safety, and contributing to sustainable environmental management practices.
 
Although it is the first time HCI has been conducted, the program has received an overwhelmingly positive response from Harita employees. A total of 110 proposals were submitted from various business units, with 36 making it to the implementation stage. These proposals will proceed to the presentation phase, where the top five will be selected.
 
The program will culminate in a competition among the first-place winners from each business unit to determine the overall champion. The final event is scheduled for January-February 2025.
 
“HCI is a highly positive initiative as it provides employees with a platform to innovate and compete in contributing their best to the company,” remarked Asrar Kurniawan, a team leader from TBP and an HCI participant.

Ahead of Presentations, HCI Participants Test the Practicality of Their Innovative Ideas

Harita Continuous Improvement (HCI) 2024 has reached a very important milestone. After a long journey, which began with the registration of participants and then continued with a series of selections, now comes the announcement of business unit level champions.
The announcement of the 2024 HCI champions at the business unit level was packaged in an event entitled “HCI Awarding Night 2024” which was held in the Activity Center cinema, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, on Thursday, December 12, 2024. Present at this event, the HCI champion nominees from each business unit. Also attending were invitations from the management along with the jury and facilitators involved in the selection and mentoring process of HCI participants. 
Harita Nickel Operations Director, Younsel Evand Roos, in his speech said that the spirit of continuous improvement is in line with the company's Core Value of Achievement Oriented. He hopes that every Harita employee can see HCI as an opportunity to accelerate achievement, especially in the area of work they do every day.

“With this continuous improvement, everyone can have the opportunity to advance. If not this year, may it be in the following years. Improvement does not stop at just one moment, but is continuously carried out in every aspect of work,” he said.
Then came the moment that Harita Insan had been waiting for, both those who were present in person and those who watched virtually via live broadcast. Especially the champion nominees, their curiosity was not answered until the names of the champions were announced.
 
The announcement of the champions began with the earliest operating business unit at the Obi Island site, namely PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, which also includes PT Gane Permai Sentosa. Followed by the champion for the PT Megah Surya Pertiwi business unit as the earliest operating smelter. Then PT Halmahera Persada Lygend with two other associated business units, namely PT Obi Nickel Cobalt and PT Dharma Cipta Mulia. Closed with the announcement of the champion for PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel with two other associated business units, namely PT Karunia Permai Sentosa and PT Obi Sinar Timur.
 
The prize award for the fifth to runner-up winners of each business unit was represented by the group leader.

As an illustration, the collaborative project between the Nickel Sulfate Production Department and the Power Plant has succeeded in reducing the use of coal in the Power Plant by thousands of tons per year and is also able to save billions of rupiah in costs in a year. Waste that has the potential to pollute the environment and even endanger workers if not managed properly, but thanks to the innovations made can actually have a positive impact on the company.
&nbsp;“We are targeting to be in the top three, but we don't expect much to win, because the proposals from other teams are no less interesting. For us, being the first winner is a bonus,” said Chess.
Meanwhile, Asrar Kurniawan, group leader who won first place for the PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk business unit, said that his team gained a lot of positive experiences from their participation in HCI. From this event, he added, he learned how to optimize his work so that it can benefit himself and the company.
 
“We would also like to thank the facilitators who have assisted us from proposal preparation to presentation. In particular to our managers in the Lab and Preparation Department who have provided a lot of support to the team,” he said.
 
Closing the event that night, Harita Nickel's President Director, Roy Arman Arfandy, said that Harita Continous Improvement is not just a competition, but a journey together to bring the company to a better direction. The ultimate goal of HCI is in line with the company's mission, which is to achieve sustainable excellence through improving the quality of human resources and processes. 
“Congratulations to all the winners for their dedication and hard work. We are very proud of these achievements. However, the journey is not over yet. You will represent the business unit to compete in the group level competition, in February 2025,” he concluded.

HCI Awarding Night 2024, Recognizing Innovators at Site Obi

The sustainable integrated nickel mining and processing technology company operating on Obi Island, Harita Nickel, graduated 14 local youths completing the Vocational Education Program for the Enhancement of Youth Skills and Expertise (PELITA).&nbsp;
The program aims to intensively train local youths in South Halmahera (Halsel) to operate heavy wheel loaders. The training covers aspects of safety, health and environment (K3LH); wheel loader instruments and controls; care and maintenance; as well as efficient operating techniques.
The first batch graduation ceremony was held in the company's operational area, on Wednesday (06/03/2024). This confirms the company's commitment to developing the potential of local resources from South Halmahera Regency.&nbsp;
On a separate occasion, Harita Nickel Head of External Relations Latif Supriadi, said the PELITA vocational education program has been running since June 2023. All participants who attended this program had previously worked at the company as casual daily workers (THL) without being equipped with specific skills (nonskills). After completing this program, he added, the nonskilled workers can be appointed as heavy equipment operators at the company.<img alt="Wisuda pelita" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/news_assets/Wisuda Pelita.jpg" title="Wisuda pelita"><figcaption>Graduates of Pelita's vocational program pose for a group photo with Harita Nickel management and the Head of South Halmahera Manpower Office (center). </figcaption> 
“From unskilled labor, to skillful workforce. This is the main goal of PELITA, which is to increase the capacity and competitiveness of the younger generation. PELITA was also founded on the spirit of collaboration between the private sector and the government, which is expected to be one of the keys to educating the younger generation of South Halmahera,” he said.
He added that the graduates have now fully changed their position to become wheel loader operators.
Meanwhile, one of the participants, Ruslan Ibrahim, admitted that he had long dreamed of becoming a heavy equipment operator. However, his goal has not been achieved due to lack of experience.&nbsp;
“Alhamdulillah, thanks to PELITA, I managed to get this vocational education and graduated as a loader operator,” said Ruslan, who previously worked as a casual daily worker at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), one of Harita Nickel's subsidiaries.
Harita Nickel's initiative to improve skills of local workers received appreciation from the local government. Head of the Halsel Manpower Office, Soadri Ingratubun, expressed his gratitude and encouraged the vocational program to be continued so that it could provide greater benefits to local workers.
“We represent the Halsel Regency government, to thank the management of Harita Nickel for initiating a vocational program to develop the capacity of local young people in the mining area,” he said when giving a speech at the PELITA graduation.&nbsp;
In addition to the Head of Disnaker, also present at the PELITA program graduation ceremony, the Chairman of the South Halmahera DPRD, Head of Industrial Relations of the South Halmahera Manpower Office, and Harita Nickel management.&nbsp;
For information, PELITA vocational program is a part of the Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program covering five aspects, i.e. health, education, economy, infrastructure and socio-culture. This vocational program will continue to be developed by Harita Nickel, to the coming batches.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Harita Nickel Improves Local Employee Skills Through Vocational Program

The steady growl of heavy machinery filled the air in the nursery area of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), a Harita Nickel subsidiary on Obi Island, North Maluku. An excavator moved with measured precision, its bucket lifting earth as employees watched closely. With a single gesture from one of them, the operator cut the engine, and the noise faded, leaving the quiet of the island in its wake.
The man who give the signal is Irwan Tonny, Safety Trainer Supervisor at HPL. That afternoon, Irwan was overseeing the excavator operation training attended by several unskilled employees.
The training is part of the Green Development Program (GDP), an initiative launched by the Human Resources (HR) team at HPL in collaboration with the Safety Trainer team, who serve as both supervisors and on-site trainers. This initiative aims to enhance the skill set of the company’s unskilled workforce.
“This program is more than just technical training that provides basic knowledge to employees,” Irwan stated. “Harita Nickel is committed to ensuring that every participant understands the critical importance of workplace safety and develops a strong sense of discipline and work ethic. Participants will learn not only how to operate machinery and heavy equipment but also how to become responsible operators who prioritize safety,” he further explained.
<img alt="Gdp monitoring training operator" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/GDP_Monitoring Training Operator.jpg"> 
Since its launch in 2019, GDP has created opportunities for hundreds of previously unskilled workers to grow and contribute within the company. To date, more tham 600 employees have undergone upskilling through the program. Participants are selected by department heads, chosen based on their potential to advance further, provided they have a minimum of one year of service and a clean disciplinary record.
In addition, the GDP extends beyond excavator training, it encompasses a comprehensive range of heavy equipment, including wheel loaders, overhead cranes, dump trucks, crane trucks, forklifts, and other machinery critical to the company’s operations.
Novar Rafdy Zul Ikram, HR Officer at HPL who has been involved in the program’s development, outlined the challenges the company faced prior to this initiative. “Previously, we had to source labor from outside the region, which not only significantly increased operational costs but also presented challenges such as a lack of understanding of the local culture and work environment,” he explained. “By shifting our focus to the development of local resources, we have successfully empowered the community and established a skilled, loyal workforce that is better aligned with the company’s vision.”
Novar further explained that the name Green Development Program was chosen as a symbol of hope and growth. This program is specifically designed to empower employees who previously lacked skills by offering comprehensive training. The goal is to create new opportunities for these individuals, enabling them to become skilled laborers who fulfill the company’s requirements.
<h2>Safety is Priority&nbsp;</h2>
The training within GDP is structured to ensure that participants acquire not only technical skills, such as operating heavy machinery, but also a comprehensive understanding of the importance of adhering to safety standards. The curriculum covers a range of topics, including basic safety, component identification and functionality, engine systems, operational techniques, as well as Daily Inspection and Maintenance (P2H).

<figcaption>Irwan and Novar hope that the GDP can continue to grow in supporting Harita Nickel's operational activities.</figcaption>

“Safety is our top priority,” Irwan empashized. “We want to ensure that everyone can return home safely every day, without injury. That is why we consistently emphasize the importance of safety procedures at every stage of training, from the basics to field operations.”&nbsp;
The outcomes of this program are clearly evident. Several participants, who initially had no technical background, have now become skilled operators and valuable assets to the company. For them, this training is not just about mastering the techniques for operating heavy machinery, but also represents a significant opportunity to achieve a better quality of life.&nbsp;
“Green Development Program is an excellent initiative that provides substantial benefits to us. Beyond enhancing our understanding of how to operate heavy equipment and manage it effectively in the field, this program also offers us the opportunity to further develop our potential,” remarked Aswan Tidore, a graduate of the program who is now serving as a Foreman in the Production Department at HPL.
Furthermore, Aswan highlighted how the program engages a diverse range of employees, from those with basic experience to those entirely new to the field. “Thanks to this program, we have gained increased confidence in our ability to develop and compete within the company,” he remarked.
Additionally, the success of the GDP extends beyond the participating employees; it also delivers significant benefits to the company. This initiative has allowed HPL to reduce operational costs previously allocated for sourcing external labor while simultaneously enhancing employee loyalty. “When employees recognize that the company is genuinely committed to their development, their motivation and engagement with their work inevitably increase,” Novar explained.
Both Irwan and Novar, who consistently demonstrate enthusiasm in implementing this program, aspire for the GDP to continue evolving and serve as a sustainable model for empowerment.
Through the GDP, Harita Nickel has not only successfully created skilled and reliable workers but also demonstrated that the company can make a positive contribution to the community. With a clear vision and consistent dedication, Harita Nickel shows that the success of the company can go hand in hand with community empowerment, creating a brighter future for all parties involved.[]
