hr winners africa conference

“No man, however great, is greater than his people.” (Igbo proverb)

The power of each company lies in its people; therefore, it is crucial to understand, support and develop them so companies can grow and achieve success.

The role of human resources has evolved dramatically over the years – providing not only an administrative function but also a strategic function – transforming the Hr department into a valuable business partner. There has also been a recent shift towards “talent management” as attracting top talent has become a serious competitive matter demanding attention at the top levels of the organisation.

Nowadays, talent management is a key element for business success in the current economy as it allows companies to retain top talent while increasing productivity.

Companies and HR managers need to respond quickly to these trends and prepare for the new era with its innovative ways of working, recruiting, coaching and managing in order to attract and retain the necessary talent.

This conference will be a great opportunity to network, exchange ideas and take a closer look at current HR challenges so act now and join us at this unique event to equip yourself with the new way of thinking and become an Hr winner!
