Many professionals start their careers with small steps, but not all manage to jump to higher steps quickly. Novianda, a young professional who began his journey as a Chinese translator at Harita Nickel, was among the lucky ones.
Novi's career journey began in 2019, when he joined PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, one of Harita Nickel's business units, as a translator in the Warehouse Department. His main duty is to ensure that communication between local and foreign workers goes smoothly. With a strong background in Chinese, Novi is a valuable asset for the company.
“I initially found this position as an opportunity to gain work experience. But then I realized that there are lot things to learn and develop here,” he revealed.
Novi's performance did not go unnoticed by his superiors and the company. A year later, he gained new responsibilities as a Foreman in his department. According to him, his role transition from Translator to Foreman was not without challenges. From administrative work, he began to get involved in leading a small team in the field.&nbsp;
“I have to learn a lot about team management and day-to-day operations. Fortunately, since becoming a translator, I am also required to be able to support operational activities,” he said. 
 
Previous experience involved in warehouse operations is an advantage for him. With a high dedication and commitment, Novi managed to show effective leadership and ensure efficient operations. As a result, his career continued to climb. After two years as Foreman, he has now been promoted to Supervisor. In his new position, Novi is responsible for broader operations and leads a larger team. Unmitigated, the total personnel in his team reached 200 people. It consisted of a foreman, translator and administrative staff, to operators and crew.
“We support from general goods, office stationery, tools to production spare parts. We have operators and crews for loading and unloading of goods from the jetty,” he explained.
With the demands of high operational needs, Novi's current responsibilities are not light and of course, there are also many challenges. He pointed out, that when there are large-scale maintenance activities, not infrequently there is a need for procurement of goods that were not planned. Whereas ideally, ordering goods must be at least two months in advance, since Obi is far from urban access. To get around this, he must find alternatives so that operations are not hampered.
He explained that his team conducts stock opname periodically to control the entry and exit of goods and their use. It is also supported by a special application connected to the relevant department, and the report can be accessed online headquarters.
“I was able to achieve this position, of course also thanks to the support of the team and the management,” he stressed.
He also told his experience working in a multicultural environment as well as his impressions of working at Harita Nickel for approximately 5 years. “It's great to be part of Harita Nickel since I can learn a lot of things here, one of which is how to lead a team with many personnel from different cultural backgrounds,” he explained.
Novianda's career journey from a Translator Staff to a Warehouse Supervisor at Harita Nickel is clear proof that with good dedication, skill, and adaptability, people can achieve greater success. 
 
“I hope Harita Nickel will continue to grow and have a positive impact on the local community, including all employees in the company,” he concluded.&nbsp;

Novianda's Career Journey From Translator Staff to Warehouse Supervisor  

The holy month of Ramadan 1445 H was marked by a significant initiative for Harita Nickel employees. All Harita Nickel business units on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, hosted iftar events to foster stronger connections between management and staff. The Ramadan Safari, held from March 21 to March 24, 2024, spanned four days and took place at each business unit.
The series began at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), followed by PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP), PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP), and concluded at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF). These gatherings, held at mosques within each unit, were open to all employees. Management representatives present included Latif Supriadi, Head of External Relations; Iwan Syahroni, Deputy Head of Health, Safety, and Environment; Muchtar Sindang, Head of Non-Government Relations; and Topan Prasetyo, Executive Business Control.
The event aimed to enhance the relationship between management and employees, fostering a harmonious work environment. Topan Prasetyo shared his insights during his speech at PT HJF, emphasizing that the Ramadan Safari embodies the "One Harita, One Story" tagline.
"The 'One Harita, One Story' motto holds significant meaning. Although we come from various business units and regions, we are united. This spirit must be at the core of our efforts to achieve our collective goals," he said. Topan also emphasized that the event is more than a routine iftar gathering; it serves as a valuable opportunity to strengthen connections among employees from diverse backgrounds, promote a cohesive work culture, and reinforce team unity.
"With twenty thousand employees at the Obi site, this is a considerable number. If we work together as one team and one family, we can maintain a supportive and collaborative environment," he concluded. The Ramadan Safari will be established as an annual event during the holy month, underscoring the company's commitment to positively impacting its employees, the community, and the environment in which it operates.

Enhance Management-Employee Relations, Harita Nickel Holds Ramadan Safari Across All Its Business Units

On a bright Sunday morning, employees from PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), a business unit of Harita Nickel, gathered at the Activity Center. They carried cooking equipment such as spatulas, woks, and electric pots, ready to participate in the inaugural event, “Obi Masterchef” competition organized by the company.
A total of 25 teams, each comprising three members, were set to compete in creating the best fried rice dishes. The participants were given the freedom to innovate and shows their unique culinary creativity.
Amid the excitement, "Obi Masterchef" provides employees, who usually engage in demanding fieldwork, a chance to relax and unleash their creativity.
One of the participants, Tamim Murah Ismail, shared that it was his first time joining a cooking competition. “Usually, I only cook for my family at home, but this time I wanted to try a new challenge. It’s exciting to compete with colleagues,” he said with a wide smile. Along with his two teammates, Tamim, also known as Kaka Ong, aimed to create a fried rice dish inspired by his mother’s recipe.
Elsewhere, a team from the Security department was busy preparing their ingredients. Wa Ode Misna, one of the members, expressed that this event provided an opportunity to bond with colleagues beyond work hours.
“We usually work in the field and rarely have opportunities for personal interaction. This competition is a perfect opportunity for that,” she said.
As the cooking began, the Activity Center's atmosphere became vibrant. The aroma of various dishes filled the air, captivating everyone present. Some participants crafted traditional fried rice, while others ventured into vegetarian variations with local ingredients. The competition truly tested the participant's creativity.
The judges, comprising the company’s chefs and management representatives, carefully evaluated each dish. After a rigorous assessment, the top three teams with the most unique concepts and flavors were announced.
The team from Security Department emerged as the first-place winner. Their innovative fusion fried rice, made using various ingredients provided by the organizers, impressed the judges.
“We never expected our team to win the competition,” Misna said on behalf of her team. “Initially, our intention was just to have fun and spend our day off productively,” she added.
Junaidi Arief, Superintendent HRGA of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend and the event organizer expressed his gratitude to the employees for their participation. “We hope that the Obi Masterchef competition can enhance our sense of community and collaboration at Obi site,” he stated.
Even after the competition ended, the solidarity among the participants remained strong. They savored each other’s dishes, sharing laughter and stories. This cooking competition not only fostered a productive work environment at Harita Nickel but also provided a space for employees to innovate while enhancing their connections.

Masterchef Obi: Enhancing Team Unity Through Culinary Competitions

Harita Nickel, a nickel mining and processing company on Obi Island, showed its care to the community by hosting a blood donation drive. Activities carried out in honor of World Blood Donor Day were held in two locations, namely the Obi Site on Saturday, June 29 and the Jakarta head office will be on Monday, July 29, 2024.
Employees from all Harita Nickel business units and contractors actively participated in the blood donation. From the Obi Site,&nbsp; around 150 employees and contractors took part in the humanitarian action carried out at the PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) clinic.
 

 Roykedona Lisa Trixie, Head of the Blood Donation Committee and Site Doctor at Harita Nickel expressed her appreciation for the employees' enthusiastic participation. "We are very pleased with the high level of enthusiasm and participation from our employees in this blood donation event. This not only reflects the company's contribution to the surrounding community but also demonstrates the humanitarian values we uphold at Harita Nickel," she said.
This blood donation drive supports Harita Nickel’s commitment to public health. The blood collected from this drive in the Obi Site will be given to Labuha Regional General Hospital (Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah or RSUD) to help meet the hospital's blood supply needs.
“We hope to contribute to public health and help meet RSUD Labuha’s blood supply needs. Each donation today is a beacon of hope for those in need,” Roykedona added.
The organizing committee strictly followed health and safety procedures. Participants had health screenings to verify their eligibility, and the medical team ensured the blood collection was sterile and safe.
Nurul Afiah, Head of the Blood Transfusion Unit at RSUD Labuha, thanked the Harita Nickel employees who donated blood. "The employees' participation shows their strong awareness and social concern. We hope events like this can be held regularly," she said.
Furthermore, Nurul explained several benefits of blood donation for donors. “For donors, regular blood donation can help maintain heart health and renew blood cells in the body. It also provides emotional satisfaction by helping and benefiting others,” she explained.
Fajar Aprianto from the HSE department of PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) expressed satisfaction with the event. "As a Harita Nickel employee, I'm glad to join this blood donation drive. It helps others and promotes personal well-being," he said. Fajar, who has donated blood four times while working at Harita Nickel, expressed his willingness to join similar activities if the company holds them again in the future.
 
Harita Nickel regularly hosts social and humanitarian activities as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Besides blood drives, the company engages in community empowerment programs in education, health, economy, infrastructure, and socio-cultural sectors. Harita Nickel is dedicated to making a positive impact on the local communities and environment where it operates.

Caring For Community, Harita Nickel Hosts Blood Donation Drive   

The usually bustling atmosphere of the Harita Nickel site on Obi Island became quiet and solemn that early morning. The only sound echoed is the sound of takbir from the loudspeakers of mosques scattered across the employee housing complexes. A number of employees, donning koko shirts, sarongs, and caps, flocked to the mosque to perform Eid al-Adha prayers. 
That morning, Monday, June 17, 2024, all Muslims celebrated Eid al-Adha 1445 H, including the Insan Harita employees on site. Despite being away from their families, they were able to celebrate the holiday together in a familial atmosphere.
 
Sarifuddin Usman, an employee of PT Megah Surya Pertiwi, one of Harita Nickel's business units that operates a high-grade nickel processing plant, shares his experience. Having worked at PT MSP for nine years, he has celebrated Eid al-Adha on the company's premises six times. While he sometimes feels saddened by not being able to gather with his family, he also expresses happiness in being able to celebrate the holiday with his coworkers on site.
 
“It's a bummer I often have to spend Eid away from the family at work, but I'm grateful the workplace feels like a second home. Even away from my loved ones, the crew here makes the Eid feel just as special.
 
Likewise, Tamim Murrah Ismail, Foreman Weighbridge of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), who has celebrated Eid al-Adha on site four times in six years of working at Harita Nickel. 
 
"It's called love and work," Tamim says, laughing. "Despite being away from my family, the celebrations here always feel special. My coworkers feel like a second family to me," he continues.
 
Tamim and Sarifuddin's experience celebrating Eid al-Adha in the company environment not only reflects the cohesiveness between employees, but also strengthens the values of togetherness that exist at Harita Nickel.
 
Meanwhile, after the Eid prayer, the festivities continued with sacrificial animal slaughtering. A number of business units carried out sacrificial animal slaughtering in their operational areas. The animals were then distributed to the community and employees as a form of direct contribution in strengthening social ties and providing benefits to the local community.
 
This year, MSP and PT Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP) were each recorded as having distributed 4 goats, HPL 3 goats and a cow, while PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) sacrificed a cow.

Familiarity in Kinship, Harita Nickel Employees Celebrate Eid al-Adha at Site Obi

Youth Forum, a platform that provides an opportunity for young employees at Harita Nickel to discuss and share experiences, knowledge, and contribute to the Company and the community; was held festively for the second time on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the HPAL Activity Center Cinema at the Obi Site.
This time, the theme of Women's Empowerment was held in conjunction with the Kartini Day celebration. The spirit of RA Kartini, the hero of Indonesian women's emancipation, continues to live on today. She inspired women in the country to be equal to men. Now, women are no longer confined to home. Like men, Indonesian women have equal opportunities in the field of work, especially in the mining and mineral sector.
 
Attended by more than 250 young employees of Harita Nickel from various business units, the forum featured a number of speakers who shared their insights and journey towards empowerment. One of them was Rosalyn Wullandhary, Resource Modeling Specialist from Harita Nickel and the first female chairperson of the Indonesian Society of Economic Geology (MGEI) for the period 2024-2027. 
Rosalyn emphasized the important role of women in the mining industry who have contributed significantly to the growth of the industry. In her presentation, she discussed the challenges and stereotypes faced by women in the profession, as well as encouraging more women to take on leadership roles in what is still considered a male profession.

<figcaption>Dr. Yoan Clara encourages the participants to start with small steps to achieve big targets, "Start Small, Finish Big"</figcaption>

The second speaker, dr Yoan Clara, a Putri Indonesia Maluku 2020, general practitioner and stunting prevention activist, delivered a talk on 'Eastern Women Can Also Shine'. Clara shared how she overcame the obstacles she faced as a woman from eastern Indonesia. She emphasized the need to break away from limitations and highlighted the tremendous potential women have in achieving their dreams. Clara also highlights the importance of being an empowered woman and that this can start from small steps, such as accepting and loving yourself, motivating yourself, and continuing the process of developing yourself. 
 
Not only going one-way, the Youth Forum also provided opportunities for participants to ask questions directly to the speakers. The discussion also looked at concrete steps that can be taken to encourage and inspire young women to achieve. 
 
Moreover, the Youth Forum has successfully become a platform where the voices of young men and women can be heard, ideas can be exchanged, and inspiration can be shared. By empowering the younger generation and promoting gender equality, the Company is taking significant steps towards a more inclusive future. The event was also a testament to the tremendous potential of young employees of Harita and their ability to drive positive change in society.

Youth Forum 2024, Empowering Young Kartini of Harita Nickel

Ramadan is eagerly anticipated by Muslims worldwide, including thousands of Insan Harita on Obi Island. Despite being distant from the city and unable to celebrate with family, they remain determined to seek blessings and grace during this sacred month.
Dwi Retno Apriani Putri, a Dental Assistant at Harita Nickel Clinic, discovered the Ramadan spirit while balancing her duties at the Obi site. This year marks her second Ramadan on Obi Island since joining Harita Nickel in 2022. While she's accustomed to being away from family, this time feels different as she juggles her responsibilities as a wife and mother.
"This isn't the first time I've been away from my family for work, but it's my first time experiencing it since getting married and becoming a parent," she mentioned.
Even though she's familiar with working away from home, Dwi admits she often misses her husband and child. To ease her longing, she frequently connects with her small family through video calls.
During Ramadan, she often invites her husband and child to share virtual suhoor and iftar meals. She feels it helps ease her longing for the familial warmth of Ramadan.&nbsp;
Muhammad Safriyanto, a Community Development Staff at Harita Nickel, joined the company just six months ago. Safri, as his coworkers call him, expressed his joy in experiencing Ramadan vibe in eastern Indonesia for the first time, particularly at the Obi site.
 
&nbsp;“This is a new experience for me. I've been working away from home before, but it’s only this year that I’m enjoying Ramadan in Eastern Indonesia. The atmosphere is different. Maybe because everyone here is also far from their families. So, we all try to fill each other’s voids with activities that involve togetherness,” Safri said. Furthermore, he believes that the solidarity among the Insan Harita has somehow cured their longing for the warmth of Ramadan at home.
Ramadan on Obi Island brings challenges for Dwi, Safri, and other Insan Harita members. Despite being away from family, they push through with determination and enthusiasm until the end of this sacred month.&nbsp;

A Ramadan Story: Insan Harita's Devotion Despite Being Distant from Loved Ones

Employees are crucial assets for a company. Recognizing this, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), one of Harita Nickel’s business units operating in Obi Island, constantly improves its services to its employees. One of the initiatives is the monthly celebration of employees' birthdays.
An Gui Ling, known as Aaron, General Affairs Supervisor and representative of the management initiating this activity, stated that the birthday celebration would become a regular monthly event.

“We hope that this event can serve as a platform for foreign and Indonesian employees to become closer and more familiar, just like a family,” he expressed.
The employees birthday celebration for January and February 2024 has occurred twice, with dates differing: January 20th and February 17th. All employees born in these months are invited to join the celebration.

Fajri Muliawan from the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Department, appreciated the company's attention to this occasion. He, along with colleagues and fellow January-born employees, enjoyed celebrating together.

“It's an interesting experience. Usually, birthdays are celebrated individually with close friends, but here we can celebrate together with other employees who were born in the same month,” said Fajri, who was born on January 28.

<h6 class="text-center"><img alt="Harita nickel employees birthday party 2" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Harita-Nickel-Employees-Birthday-Party-2.jpg" style="display: block; margin: auto;" title="Harita nickel employees birthday party 2">Employees' birthday celebrations on January</h6>
The birthday celebration event commenced with an opening speech by Rico Windy Albert, the Head of Technical Support at PT HPL. He expressed his appreciation to the management for initiating such activities. Through this initiative, Rico hopes to strengthen relationships among employees, foster a sense of ownership to increase productivity.

At the event, the company offered tasty foods and a big birthday cake for everyone. Attendees also enjoyed games and prize drawings.

Building Stronger Connections: HPAL's Monthly Birthday Celebrations  Forge Employee Bonds

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" rel="noopener">employees</a> have many options to meet their daily needs.
Currently, Harita Nickel through its associate business, <a href="https://hpalnickel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">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.<script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1784627355137"></script>
