African Perspectives: Human Resources
Shaping Africa’s Workplace for the Future: Talent, Innovation, AI and Leadership
Africa’s workplace is changing rapidly. From the rise of artificial intelligence and digital transformation to evolving employee expectations and the growing demand for new skills, organisations across the continent are being challenged to rethink how they attract, develop, manage and retain talent.
Against this backdrop, African Perspectives (Human Resources), in partnership with A4S Limited, presents a timely conversation on “Shaping Africa’s Workplace for the Future: Talent, Innovation, AI, and Leadership.”
The virtual event will bring together experienced HR professionals, business leaders and industry practitioners from across Africa to examine the forces transforming the modern workplace and what organisations must do to remain competitive, resilient and people-focused.
The discussion will explore critical questions around the future of work: How is AI changing the role of HR? What skills will African organisations need in the coming years? How can businesses attract and retain top talent in an increasingly competitive environment? And what kind of leadership is required to successfully navigate technological and organisational change?
The event features an impressive lineup of speakers, including Dr. Orlando Odejide, Managing Partner at A4S Limited; Imoh Udoh, Head, i-Fitness Learning Academy; Olaniyi Soyinka, Senior Human Resources Business Partner at Ecobank Nigeria; Dede Ofei, Head of HR at Jumia Group, Ghana; Ayodeji Adebayo, Human Resource Professional; Okechukwu Efuribe, Head, Human Resources at Coronation Merchant Bank; Edith Oguchukwu, Chief Operations Officer at A4S Limited; and TejumJesu Peter-Adetiba, HR Professional.
Their combined perspectives will provide valuable insights into the intersection of people, technology, leadership and organisational transformation, with particular attention to the realities and opportunities within the African context.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape jobs and business processes, the organisations that thrive will be those that understand that technology alone is not enough. The future of work will depend on the ability to combine technology with strong leadership, continuous learning, effective people management and a culture that encourages innovation.
This event offers an opportunity for HR professionals, business leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, students and anyone interested in the future of work to learn, engage and gain practical perspectives from professionals working at the forefront of Africa’s evolving workplace.
African Perspectives (Human Resources): Shaping Africa’s Workplace for the Future takes place Thursday, 24 September 2026, at 10:00 AM WAT, live on Zoom.
