(1) Proportional data in Our people section are based on the average of the number of employees at the last day of each calendar month for a 10-month period which
calculates the average for the year with the exception of the average number (and %) of employees in the data tables by region which shows the weighted average
number of employees based on BHP ownership. There is no significant seasonal variation in employment numbers.
(2) Contractor data is collected from internal surveys and the organisation systems and averages for a 10-month period.
(3) Absenteeism comprises sick leave, hospitalisation leave, and injury on duty, short-term disability, unauthorised absence, industrial action, union absence, unpaid
absence and workers’ compensation.
(4) Remunerations.
Contractors are excluded from the Report.
The highest paid individual in each significant region has been excluded from the median determination.
Salary increases do not include promotional increases.
Individuals classified as entry level are those in an Operators and General Support role, and have been with the organisation for less than one year.
Minimum wage is determined for all locations except for Singapore and Switzerland, as they do not have a minimum wage mandated by the government.
(5) The number of training hours has been annualised using data from a 10-month period, July to April, to determine a total for the year. Percentages are calculated using
the average of the number of employees at the last day of each calendar month for the same 10-month period.
(6) Return to work rates of employees that took parental leave of 96 per cent. The calculation includes primary parental leave only and does not include secondary
parental leave. Secondary parental leave is a two-week parental leave benefit for the non-primary caregiver. All BHP employees are eligible for parental leave.
(7) Data reflects the number of employees as at 30 June 2020 that have at least one performance review record in our core HR system for performance review records.
Performance review records for some employees in Chile are not recorded in the core HR system and not captured in this data.
