Understanding the importance of the transformation of the role of Human Resources in Africa is the focus of an exciting conference taking place in Nairobi in November

The role of human resources has evolved dramatically over the years and transformed into one of 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 an organisation.

Understanding the importance of this transformation and the role of talent management in it, Fleming Europe is organising the HR Winners Africa Conference in Nairobi, Kenya.

Top Level Human Resources Professionals

With the aim to make Africa a better place to work, 20+ top level HR professionals from companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, Unilever, General Electric, Airtel Africa, East African Breweries Limited, and many others will gather.

Speakers from the Top Employers and the Best Companies to Work For will share their 'keys to success' in a focused 'Think-Tank' session. They will reveal their secrets on building and maintaining their unique organisational culture. Attendees will discuss the attitudes winners have towards employee communications as well as the opportunities winners offer for their employees to develop professionally and grow within a company, impacting the company's brand in terms of attraction, long-term employee engagement and retention of talent.

Retention and Talent Engagement

Over the two days, delegates will explore four concepts for becoming an HR winner - Retention & Engagement ranking as the most urgent trend to address in East Africa; Reskilling HR from a collector of data about employers to a strategic partner and member of the board; Talent Acquisition: showing how to attract talent; and Leadership in the form of successful examples on how a coaching culture can help to develop leaders.
