What specific problem are you solving?
The People Practice addresses the critical challenge of ineffective people management and organizational culture within African businesses. Many companies across the continent struggle with outdated human resources practices, leading to low employee engagement, high turnover rates, and diminished productivity. This problem is exacerbated by a lack of access to modern HR tools and culturally relevant strategies that resonate with the diverse African workforce.
In Nigeria, for instance, employee engagement levels are among the lowest globally, with only 12% of employees feeling engaged at work, according to a Gallup report. This disengagement translates to economic losses and hampers the growth potential of organizations. Globally, the issue is even more pronounced, with the World Economic Forum estimating that disengaged employees cost the global economy up to $7.8 trillion annually.
The People Practice tackles these challenges by offering tailored people and culture solutions that align with the unique needs of African businesses. By focusing on modern HR practices, leadership development, and organizational culture transformation, they aim to enhance employee engagement, reduce turnover, and drive sustainable business growth across the continent.
