People are at the heart of Phosboucraa’s industrial strategy. This is the reason why the company invests to develop and consolidate the skill set of every one of its employees.
Phosboucraa strives to improve the living conditions of its employees and the local community and encourages the development of dynamic and thriving local economies. Indeed, the company believes that it is these local pools of talents and skills that will ultimately constitute the backbone of the long-term growth of the company.
Today, Phosboucraa is the single largest employer in the Moroccan Southern Regions with more than 2,194 employees.
Our most valuable asset is our people. After all, ore deposits only become an asset when you have the skills and expertise to create shared value out of them, for the benefit of the Region and its inhabitants.
*In addition to 130 employees from the region employed by OCP in the Northern operations (Khouribga, Safi, Casablanca, Jorf Lasfar, Benguerir and Youssoufia)
Since OCP first invested in Phosboucraa in 1976, priority has been placed on hiring workers from the Southern Regions, local skill-building and equal opportunity employment. Spectacular progress has been achieved, especially in terms of vocational and professional training, notably with the creation of dedicated training centers such as the ITA (Institut de Technologie Appliquée) in Laayoune. As a result, today, more than 85% of new hires are locals with strong community roots.
Phosboucraa is committed to its employees wellbeing and empowerment. The company equips its people with means that enable them to fully assume their responsibilities and develop their personal abilities and skills to operate efficiently in a changing environment. As such, Phosboucraa offers a wide range of training and development support programs that incorporate the values of the company while strengthening soft skills and industry expertise.
Employees’ health and safety are priorities for Phosboucraa, that is why the company is co-developing world class health and safety policies in partnership with "DuPont OCP Operations Consulting"
