The time showed at 19.40 WIT when Yoga Setiawan was preparing to get out of his room in the Living Quarter of one of the business units of Harita Nickel, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL). Tonight, Yoga has a turn to host an Indonesian language class for foreign employees who work at Harita Nickel. The four-times-a-week routine that this Project Admin Staff has wholeheartedly embraced over the last two years.
“I am inspired by the story of Jose Mourinho, who started his career in Barcelona as a translator for Sir Bobby Robson, the Sporting Lisbon coach in the 90s. Now, he can be a top coach who has collected many prestigious trophies in Europe,” adds Yoga. 
 
“Hello Mister. My name is Jose Mourinho, and the President has hired me as your interpreter. I hope I can do a good job for you, Mister.”
 
Those words set Bobby Robson and Jose Mourinho together and opened the door to Mourinho's success.
 
The function of a translator cannot be underestimated. Such is the case with Yoga. Every day, this 25-year-old Pontianak native is responsible for bridging communication between Indonesian and foreign employees to achieve collaboration in creating effective and efficient operational activities. 
 
A good translator must understand the native dialect that foreign employees often use. No doubt, Yoga has to think hard to translate every instruction so that it is understood precisely and clearly by his colleagues. The dynamic work rhythm also challenges Yoga to continue developing his skills, becoming a reliable translator, and supporting the company's performance. 
 
“Here, I am required to develop my skills and knowledge every day. Imagine, I, who initially did not understand technical terms in the world of engineering or metallurgy, had to build bridges of communication between nations so that the company can achieve optimum performance,” explains Yoga.
 
He adds that the lessons learned during school or language courses are limited to everyday conversation. “When I was assigned to Harita Nickel, I had to quickly get on the same frequency, which aligns with the mindset of colleagues in the Production Department who are very technical and data-oriented. I take great care that my translations are precise and understandable to my coworkers,” he concluded.
 
Marini, Project Admin Staff from the Production Department, who has a 2-year career at Harita Nickel, conveyed the same. This Kalimantan woman confirmed that conversations in different regional dialects make the task of translators very challenging. "Giving up is not an option for me. The point is, I must always improve my capacity continuously," she said.
 
Furthermore, building communication bridges is more than just translating words into another language. Hence, Marini honed three skills in her role as a translator: adaptive linguistic skills, understanding of technical terms, and, last but not least, interpersonal skills. “The dynamic work situation in the operational area requires me to manage my soft skills in building relationships with coworkers. This skill is important because even if we have good intentions but mistakenly deliver them, it can be misinterpreted by our coworkers. This skill is also included in one of the company's core values, which is respect for every individual,” she added.
 
The spirit of respect for each individual is what Marini brings to the responsibilities entrusted to her. Thus, interacting with politeness, tolerance, and empathy towards fellow employees become Marini's guidelines. 
 
For Marini, understanding a language leads to understanding a nation's culture. “Again, interpersonal skills play an important role so that we can appreciate cultural difference so that the communication bridge we build is stronger,” she added. 
 
The spirit of building bridges of communication and collaboration between nations, as well as One Harita, is also realized by Harita Nickel by opening opportunities for employees to learn languages. It is not only for Indonesian employees who are interested in learning foreign languages but also for foreign employees who want to learn Bahasa Indonesia. Employees can join the classes from 20.00 to 21.00 WIT at the Activity Center of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend at the Obi Island site. The same opportunity is also provided for employees at the head office in Jakarta.
 
This program aims to build a solid collaboration, increasing company productivity. By involving translators as teaching staff, foreign employees will be equipped with a qualified vocabulary for daily conversation and supporting communication in the work area. 
 
“To colleagues who want to sharpen their skills, join the language course with us! Nothing is too difficult, as long as we are committed and willing to learn,” concludes Yoga.

Building a Bridge of Communication Between Nations on Obi Island

Working on a mining site doesn't always mean living in the forest with limited access and facilities. In Harita Nickel, a downstream and integrated nickel company operating on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, their <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/sustainability/human-rights/our-employee" target="_blank">employees</a> have many options to meet their daily needs.
Currently, Harita Nickel through its associate business, <a href="https://hpalnickel.com/" target="_blank">PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPAL)</a> collaborated with PT Matahari Putra Prima Tbk (MPPA Retail Group) to open a supermarket in the living quarter area of HPAL on Obi Island. This supermarket, which is managed by Hypermart, offers a wide range of basic goods. What's more, the prices are not much different from those in urban areas.

Suddenly, the Foodmart Supermarket PT HPAL, launched on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, was stormed by the employees. The queue in front of the cashier was almost never-ending until the supermarket closed at 10:00 PM.

Satriyo Wibowo, who we met while shopping, expressed his delight at the opening of the Foodmart. He explained that the items sold were very comprehensive and could meet the daily needs of the employees.

“Especially for supplementing the nutritional needs of employees because they also sell fresh fruits and vegetables here,” he said.

Similarly, Irna, an employee of PT HPAL from the HRGA department, expressed her happiness because the mart was not only complete, but also affordable. Like other employees, she bought various necessities until her basket was full.

“It contains different items. There are fruits, eggs, vegetables, snacks, and more. The prices are very reasonable,” she exclaimed enthusiastically.

Rico Windy Albert, Head of Technical Support PT HPAL, stated that the opening of Foodmart complements the shopping facilities for employees. He hopes that with the variety of options available, employees can work more comfortably.

“In the end, it's so that employees can feel more comfortable and at home on the site. But still, don't forget to go home when it comes to field break time,” said Rico, followed by the lively laughter of the attending employees.

Meanwhile, Erik Rinaldo, a representative from PT Matahari Putra Prima Tbk, expressed his interest in providing services at the Obi site due to the progressive development of Harita Nickel. It is mentioned that the Foodmart at the Obi site is the second mining area supermarket after their company opened one at PT Freeport Indonesia four years ago.

“We apologize if we're currently unable to meet all the employees needs. However, we are committed to becoming more stable in the next two to three months,” he stated.

For your information, the opening of Foodmart PT HPAL complements the shopping facilities for employees at the Obi site. At least 30 thousand workers are spread across four business units of Harita Nickel that are already actively operating, including contractors. To empower the local community, the company also facilitates the distribution of products from MSMEs managed by third parties in the shopping outlets.

In addition to shopping facilities, Harita Nickel also provides sports facilities and supports employees hobbies. These include badminton courts, football, futsal, basketball, table tennis, billiards, karaoke lounges, live bands, cinemas, swimming pools, and café. With these various facilities, employees will not get bored.

“Even though it's far from the city and away from family, the atmosphere is not boring. Amidst the busy work routine, we can exercise, do worship, and even play in a band or watch movies here,” said Ferry Ferdinand, a PT HPAL employee recruited from Jakarta.

Looking at Harita Nickel's Employee Shopping Facility in Obi Island

Local communities play a crucial role in a company's <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/sustainability/about-sustainability" target="_blank">sustainability</a>. A positive relationship with residents is essential for achieving business objectives and fostering a favorable public image. This is exemplified by Harita Nickel, which prioritizes Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles and strategically involves the community on Obi Island in its operations.
At the forefront of building trust with local communities is Margarita Ludara, Community Relation Supervisor at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, representing the key role of Harita People.
Rita, also known as Margarita, is deeply involved in the community to ensure that the company's programs align with local norms and values. Challenges arise when there are conflicting interests between the company and the community, but Rita's persistence and conviction help resolve these tensions.&nbsp;
<img alt="Rita community relation harita nickel" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/Rita - Community Relation Harita Nickel.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;" title="Rita community relation harita nickel"> 

<figcaption>Margarita Ludara, Community Relation Supervisor at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk</figcaption>

She was born and raised in Kawasi Village where PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk operates an integrated nickel downstream. Joining in 2018 as a Community Relation Staff, she has since grown into her role as Community Relation Supervisor despite facing initial career challenges.
"The process was not easy from the beginning of my career here as a staff until now carrying the mandate as Community Relation Supervisor," she explained.
Working in a company within her local community demonstrates Rita's strong sense of responsibility towards her hometown. As an alumna of Maluku Christian University with a major in Theology, she deeply understands the needs and expectations of the local residents&mdash;an invaluable advantage that will facilitate acceptance by the community.&nbsp;
However, being both a company representative and part of the local community occasionally poses challenges for Rita. Her commitment to aiding the community can at times become overwhelming when personal relationships, such as with neighbors or family, intersect with professional obligations. She acknowledges that unmet expectations may impede efforts to align the company's interests with those of the community. [IC}

Building Communication Bridges between Companies and Local Communities

Harita Nickel partnered with the North Maluku Provincial Language Office to host a Technical Guidance for future Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers instructors. This activity is part of the <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/sustainability/human-rights/our-employee" target="_blank">human resource</a> development program, which was held to equip translators with Indonesian language learning knowledge for Foreign Workers (TKA).
A total of 25 participants attended the training on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at <a href="https://hpalnickel.com/" target="_blank">PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPAL)</a>&nbsp;Living Quarter. These included translators and administrative staff who work with foreign workers in various business units.&nbsp;
Junaidi Arief, HR&GA Superintendent of PT HPAL, emphasized that the Bimtek is crucial for introducing Indonesian language and culture to foreign workers at the Obi site so that they can easily pick up the language through effective teaching methods.
"The standardization and rules of Indonesian language teaching that have been delivered by the North Maluku Language Office can make it easier for foreign workers at the Obi site to understand Indonesian," he said.
Furthermore, Junaidi said all foreign workers have been introduced to Indonesian culture through induction given when they first arrived at the Obi site. For example, they were told about what they could and could not do in Indonesia. With the introduction of culture and language teaching, he said, cultural acculturation and synergy between foreign workers and migrant workers can be implemented in work.
Meanwhile, Head of the North Maluku Provincial Language Office, Dr Arie Andrasyah Isa, S.S, M.Hum said BIPA is a priority program from the government to internationalize Indonesian. According to him, Harita Nickel as a company that employs foreign workers needs to provide Indonesian language lessons to facilitate their communication in carrying out their work.&nbsp;
"In this Bimtek, translators and prospective teachers are equipped with various materials on how effective teaching techniques and methods for Foreign Workers," he said, while giving appreciation to Harita Nickel for supporting the BIPA program. [IC]

The official conclusion of the Harita Nickel 2023 Olympics took place during the Closing Ceremony held on Saturday, October 28, 2023, coinciding with the commemoration of the Youth Pledge Day. The Closing Ceremony, which was presented in a music concert at the Nirwana Football Field of PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (PT TBP), marked the end of the entire series of competitions that had been taking place since September.&nbsp;
Younsel Evand Roos, Operational Director of PT TBP, expressed his gratitude to everyone who supported the successful organization of the Harita Nickel 2023 Olympics. He mentioned that the event successfully strengthened the bond between the business units as a unified part of the Harita Nickel family.
<img alt="Younsel evand roos direksi harita" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/Younsel Evand Roos Direksi Harita.jpg" title="Younsel evand roos direksi harita">

"This Olympics proves that although we come from different business units, we are still one Harita. Wherever we are, we always strive to contribute our best with different stories for Harita. This spirit is reflected in the slogan 'One Harita, One Story,'" he said.&nbsp;
In this inaugural Olympics, PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) emerged as the overall champion with a total score of 34 points, closely followed by PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) with 32 points. Meanwhile, PT TBP and PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) had to settle for third and fourth place.

Catur Prasetyo, one of the winners of the videography competition, expressed his admiration for the organization of the Harita Nickel 2023 Olympics. He noted that the event not only served as a platform to strengthen camaraderie among employees but also succeeded in increasing love for the company.&nbsp;
"In addition to strengthening communication among employees, this event also strengthens the love and pride for the company," he said.&nbsp;
Rexi Mappadang, the winner of the Harita Idol competition, echoed similar sentiments. The golden-voiced Harita member said the Olympics successfully united employees from all business units, including local and international workers.
"This activity demonstrates the company's attention to developing employees' potential in sports and the arts. I have made many new friends and feel closer to colleagues throughout the company," he said.
Harita Olympics will become an annual event

The spirit of togetherness reflected in the slogan "One Harita, One Story" resonated once again at the closing concert of the Olympics. The expressions of joy and love overflowed as guest star Fresly Nikijuluw took the stage. At least 1500 Harita members immersed themselves in the familiar melodies. It turned out that the enthusiasm of Harita members for the entire Olympics extended to the company's leadership.
Younsel Evand Roos, representing the Board of Directors that evening, posed a question. "What do you think about having the Olympics again next year and making it an annual event?" he asked from the stage, immediately receiving a resounding "Agreed!" followed by cheers and roars from thousands of Harita members listening below the stage.

Euphoria of Harita Nickel 2023 Olympic Closing Concert

Communication skills are essential in every job. To improve these skills, Harita Nickel's Corporate Communications Department organized a training session on public speaking and digital marketing. The event was held on September 16 and 17, 2023 at Room 305, Main Office of PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF).
Over the course of two days, 30 participants from various departments across all business units learned the techniques of public speaking and delivering engaging presentations. The training, conducted by communications and media professionals from Tempo Komunitas, was both engaging and interactive. Participants were not only taught theory but were also involved in practical exercises. The learning environment was made fun with the inclusion of games and door prizes.
After attending the training, participants expressed that they had gained significant new knowledge. Ferrinda, one of a participant from the production department of PT HJF, stated that the knowledge gained from the training was directly applicable to their work. After the training, they felt more confident when communicating with colleagues and even when speaking in front of a large audience. In addition to acquiring new knowledge, the participants also expressed their pleasure in attending the training on their day off.&nbsp;
Susanty Feronica Zees, a participant from the Processing Plant Department of PT MSP, felt that the time she sacrificed for rest was well worth it because she had the opportunity to learn directly from experienced professionals. What left a lasting impression on her was the sense of camaraderie throughout the training, which fostered a sense of belonging within the "Big Harita Nickel family".

Improving Communication Skills Harita's Employee, Corporate Communications Department Holds Public Speaking Training

After graduating from the mining major, Irfan Hayatudin briefly worked as an accounting assistant at a palm oil company. It wasn't the job he wanted, but Irfan stuck with it. He did it because he didn't want to disappoint his parents. They had struggled to put their child through college, only to see him graduate and remain unemployed. So even though it wasn't what he had hoped for, working was a non-negotiable option.
After seven months of working outside his field, news came from the head of the Mining Engineering program at Halmahera Polytechnic. A lecturer from his alma mater told him that a nickel smelter on Obi Island was opening a management trainee program.
Irfan didn't miss the opportunity. In November 2015, he participated in the three-month management trainee selection process at PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP). Out of 500 participants, 200 were deemed successful and given the opportunity to spend three months training in China.
The opportunity to study in China broadened Irfan's horizons in the smelting industry. He was proud to have gained a wealth of knowledge during his training program there. "It was an unforgettable experience to set foot in China and learn about the smelting technology used there," he said.
Three months passed, and Irfan returned home to fulfill a two-year commitment to work at MSP as a Control Room Staff. His duties included monitoring all the operating equipment and controlling the temperature and pressure of each unit in use.
Working in a company with limited time off, Irfan often filled his free time by being active on social media. His TikTok account now has 202,000 followers, and much of his content has gone viral, seen by millions of people. Yes, social media became a space to fill his "loneliness" of working in the smelting industry with a roster system, far away from his family and even his girlfriend!
Thanks to his popularity on social media, Irfan was selected as one of the participants in the Extra Miles Day organized by the Corporate Communications Department. Now he no longer feels lonely as he has made many acquaintances from different departments and even other business units. He is proud to have had the opportunity to visit all of Harita Nickel's operations, from upstream to downstream. He shared this experience on social media, packaged in his characteristic humorous yet positive style.
Reflecting on his life's journey, Irfan paused on the words of a much admired figure. It was Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, who once said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward."
"Every point we pass through in life, even if it's not pleasant, is not without reason. The key is to keep striving to be better by learning and working hard, and to have a positive outlook on whatever destiny God gives us," he concluded.

​Irfan Hayatudin: Once Lost and Lonely, Now Finds His Dream

Persistent, intelligent, and never give up. These three traits seem fitting to describe the character of Yufita Tuhuteru. As an Analyst at the Technology Department of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), she has proven that local residents on Obi Island can achieve higher education and pursue a professional career in their hometown. 
Yufita began her career journey at Harita Nickel by joining PT HPL through the Management Trainee program. It is a company program designed to identify and groom new talents for future managerial positions.

The 28-year-old woman from Soligi Village, a village within the operational circle of Harita Nickel on Obi Island, was initially assigned to the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). Due to her hard work and dedication, she was promoted to the position of WWTP Foreman after just one year. One of her responsibilities is to supervise the residue from the processing and refining of nickel using High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) technology, specifically dry tail.

From being a WWTP Foreman, Yufita now holds the position of Analyst in the Technology Department. Her daily tasks involve analyzing production samples to ensure the quality of the resulting products.

Yufita proudly expresses her satisfaction in being a part of Harita Nickel. Here, she can apply the knowledge she gained during her studies in Chemical Engineering at the Universitas Muslim Indonesia for her bachelor's degree (S1) and the same field for her master's degree (S2) at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Moreover, as a local resident, she can contribute to the development of her region.

"It's a personal pride to contribute to Harita Nickel, the first company that produces raw materials for electric vehicle batteries in Indonesia. Considering the many new technologies used here, such as the HPAL process and nickel sulfate processing, there is certainly a lot to learn," she says proudly.

Yufita has a big dream of promoting better access to quality education for the people of Obi Island. She also hopes that the youth in her region have a strong desire to learn so that they can excel academically and professionally.

In her opinion, career opportunities for local youth in Obi Island, and generally in North Maluku as one of the regions with the largest nickel reserves in Indonesia, are widely open. Moreover, the company she works for prioritizes hiring local residents. Out of more than 13,000 workers on-site, over 50 percent come from North Maluku.

However, this avid reader of journals during her spare time also acknowledges that the youth in North Maluku still lack skills.

"The youth in Obi Island, especially in fields like chemical engineering, civil engineering, or metallurgical engineering, have very limited education and skills. I have conveyed this to local community groups and also to the company management, urging them to provide opportunities for non-skilled youth in North Maluku. They should be given training to develop their skills," she explains.

Yufita has proven that limitations should not hinder someone from achieving their goals. Despite being born in one of the Least Developed, Frontline, and Outermost (3T) regions in North Maluku, she managed to attain higher education up to the master's level and apply her knowledge by pursuing a career in the largest electric vehicle battery material-producing company in Indonesia, which operates adjacent to her hometown.

"Young people must be productive, innovative, and capable of competing positively in every job we undertake," she concludes.

Yufita Tuhuteru: Achieving Dreams Amidst the Glitter of Mining in Her Hometown

ONE NIGHT, a fire broke out in Kawasi Village, South Halmahera, North Maluku. Getting this news, Harita Nickel's management immediately sent a rescue aid. A total of 3 firefighting units and 2 units of water trucks along with the Emergency Response Team (ERT) crew went to the fire location. 
Erich Marvin Rizal Mongdong, ERT Supervisor of PT Hamahera Persada Lygend (PT HPL), said fire in Kawasi Village was one of the toughest cases ever handled. This was because crowds of panicked residents had made it difficult for the ERT crew to reach the location.&nbsp; 
"[We] can't blame them, they instinctively wanted to help. If it was in a company environment, it would be easier to manage because employees and workers are already trained, knowing what to do," said Erich, recalling the disastrous event that happened on October 23, 2022.
 
Not only in the company environment, said Erich, ERT Harita Nickel is also responsive to emergency events around its nickel mining and downstream operations in Obi Island.
<figure><img alt="Erich mongdong ert supervisor" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/news_assets/Erich Mongdong ERT Supervisor.jpg"> </figure>
ERICH MONGDONG joined Harita Nickel in June 2021. His position as ERT Supervisor at PT HPL, Harita Nickel's business unit producing the first electric vehicle battery material in Indonesia. This position is linear with his previous experience in one of mining companies in Papua.
 
Despite his experience, Erich did not face any obstacles. At that time he did not have members who had received emergency response training. ERT's structure had not yet been established. This role was previously handled by Safety team under the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) division. 
But that situation did not discourage Erich. Instead of considering it an obstacle, the absence of an ERT structure actually challenged him. Assisted by Safety personnel, he slowly formed a team. Indeed, it was not an easy process. 
"People think that we are firefighters. But it's bigger than that, because we are also required to rescue at sea, at heights and other emergency situations," Erich explains.
 
Erich understands people's reluctance to join ERT because they don't understand what his team actually does. He continues to look for ways to provide explanations in a more understandable way.
 
"I told them that ERT is a combination of firefighting and Basarnas put together," he continued, but he got the same result. None of the 17 daily casual workers (THL) who had been offered, wanted to join. 
"Then we made a demonstration simulation exercise. I asked permission for our safety team to become guinea pigs. Only then did they understand what the ERT does. People started to want to join," he said, feeling relieved.
 
Two years on, PT HPL's ERT now has 18 trained personnel on 24-hour standby. The team is also strengthened by 60 volunteers from across departments. These volunteers undergo regular training every month. Whenever needed, they are ready to join the ERT crew in the field.
 
"What we train in ERT, they also get, the same knowledge. Starting from fire training, altitude, extrication rescue, water rescue, medical," Erich explained.
 
Thanks to Erich and his team's dedication and hard work, ERT, which was once unknown to many, is now well known. Erich's office at PT HPL's Office 911 is busy serving emergency calls every day. Not only work accidents, but also other emergency calls such as when an employee is sick. Even outside the company area, such as during last year's fire in Kawasi.
 

<img alt="Erich mongdong pt hpl" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/Erich Mongdong PT HPL.jpg"> 

BEING an ERT Supervisor, Erich has a huge responsibility. He is required to coordinate his team members to work cohesively, carefully and with safety in mind. This is important to ensure both victim and crew are safe during rescue operations.
 
"I pay attention to every piece of equipment. If I see a member not wearing gloves, not wearing shoes, I will warn them. A supervisor must be able to care for his crew, pay attention to the smallest things," explained Erich.
 
Apart from safety, every personnel is also required to be always prepared. On the other hand, it is undeniable that everyone's work spirit experiences ups and downs. To foster and maintain his crew's morale, Erich instills in them that doing work is not solely for material purposes, but also based on human values.
 
"No matter how much money we have, it will run out. But if we want to seek rewards for our provision that will never run out, this is the place. Our profession is a humanitarian mission, we help people," said Erich, encouraging his members.
 
Erich's responsibility and dedication to his work was born out of a long process. Once, the 33-year-old Papua-born man had an experience that has changed his attitude to life today.
 
It happened when he was living in Yogyakarta a few years ago. It was in 2006, when there was a 5.9 SR earthquake in Yogyakarta. Erich, who was a member of a nature lovers group in his high school, was asked to volunteer helping medical workers who were overwhelmed with the victims. He remembers that event like apocalypse. It was chaotic; there were victims everywhere, crying and screaming from every direction. 
He was asked by a medical officer to look after a grandmother who was a victim of the earthquake with a severe injury to her eye. 
"All I remember is that I was asked to look after the grandmother, to talk to her, and to make sure she didn't fall asleep," Erich says, trying to recall his memories.
 
Erich tried to keep the victim conscious. He did as much as he could, but fate decided otherwise. The grandmother died on his lap. This experience was a great blow to him, who was still a teenager at that time. He was haunted by guilt for days because he thought that he had failed to help the victim.
 
" I was the most indifferent person ever. What's important is that my life is safe, that's enough. That experience became a trigger for me to care more about others, about my environment," Erich said.
 
Since then, he has been actively involved in social activities. He actualized it through nature lovers' activities at his school. Likewise, when he continued his studies at Pelita Bangsa University in Yogyakarta, majoring in Human Resource Management, his hangout was not far from the nature lovers community.
 
Despite having made significant progress, Erich still has big dreams. He hopes that ERT can focus more on countermeasures in the future. Potential accidents should be mitigated first, so that early prevention efforts can be made. 
" It's called the Emergency Preparedness and Response Team. Before responding, it has been mitigated first. If possible, there should be no calls. This is what we have slowly started to do," said Erich, optimistically. 
Erich also hopes that safety-first attitude and care for others will become a culture for every employee in all Harita Nickel business units.

Erich Mongdong: Dedicating His Job to Serve Humanity

Bulan Desember telah tiba. Tanpa terasa, 2022 sudah berada di penghujung akhir ceritanya. Pada bulan ini, Hari Raya Natal dan perayaan malam tahun baru menjadi dua momentum yang paling kerap ditunggu.
