The company's interim chief executive officer Martin Preece has called the results of a workplace culture report, which found that nearly half of the workforce had experienced bullying on the job, "deeply distressing".
The independent study, which was commissioned by Gold Fields itself, found that 47 per cent of participating employees (almost half of the company's workforce) had experienced bullying at work, with 15 per cent also experiencing racism.
The report also found that 27 per cent of women and 15 per cent on men experienced sexual harassment. A further 29 per cent of LGBTIQ+ employees reported having experienced harassment.
Gold Fields, which has several mining operations in Western Australia, has indicated its intention to implement the report's recommendations.
"We believe it is only through openness, transparency and collaboration that we – as a company and more broadly, as an industry – will be able to make real and meaningful progress," Preece said.
"I have no issue with this (report) being public. It will just serve as a further motivator for us to live up to what we believe we are and should be."
Preece also apologised to effected workers.
"I want to apologise to all our people who have been exposed to these behaviours in our business… we firmly believe that through a sustained effort, we can and will eliminate all forms of harmful behaviours in our business and create an inclusive and equitable workplace for all," Preece said.
The company has indicated that there will be regular and ongoing engagement about the specific findings at each of its sites.
