Business process reshuffle at the consolidated ore mining and processing plant (GZK) has freed some members of the Ingulets GZK team, offering them spots at other Metinvest businesses, mostly other GZKs. In July, 100+ Ingulets GZK employees of various occupation used this opportunity and moved to other enterprises, while retaining their salaries and benefits and now receiving an additional bonus for rotation. The workflow transformation at three mining and processing plants was prompted by reduced loads at Ingulets GZK due to significant power supply limitations, increased costs because of forced electricity imports, and high cost of ore concentrate production. In current conditions, this lowered the plant’s output. Meanwhile, the mining and processing divisions of Northern and Central GZKs continue to operate steadily, largely due to the lower production cost of iron ore. However, a shortage of workers has emerged as many employees have been mobilised into the Armed Forces of Ukraine

A separate part of the lecture was devoted to this.“They encountered difficulties
