Digital HR Revolution: Is Africa Ready?
Technology has continued to change every facet of the way our businesses operate, and never before in history has that change happened so rapidly.
Introduction
Technology has continued to change every facet of the way our businesses operate, and never before in history has that change happened so rapidly. Brands in Africa are now operating in an era where having a strong digital presence is a strong necessity, digital is a differentiator and a game-changer for your business, not only for success but often simply for survival in the highly competitive space.
The focus here is to show why progressive Human Resources (HR) leaders in Africa need to strengthen their skills and capacity to develop a digital mindset and put themselves on the path to becoming effective change agents in organizations.
There’s a huge need for Africa’s HR sector to go extremely digital and stay at the forefront of the digital revolution as this will help them increase productivity, reduce costs, and offer a better experience to organizations.

“Making the shift to digital HR is a game-changer for you, your business, and your people. In today’s market, having a digital strategy and mindset is a business differentiator, and it will certainly help your organization in the long run.”

Making the shift to digital HR is a game-changer for you, your business, and your people. In today’s market, having a digital strategy and mindset is a business differentiator, and it will certainly help your organization in the long run.
The digital world has become a game of the first to ‘get digital’ the fastest – and I believe that HR has the full potential – but only if HR can try to think and ‘get digital’ first! The right HR technology brings simple and standard processes from the outside in so your people and organization can focus on what really makes a difference and work at their peak.
Going digital enables HR leaders to deliver excellent employee experiences, and better business outcomes – helping human resources become a strategic, value-adding function within any organization
Enablement of Remote Working
Remote working in Africa is on the rise, with Kenya, Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa leading the pack. These countries have highly skilled talents with a global outlook.
Not only has this helped to make it easier to attract and retain talent, but it’s also increased productivity.
More people than ever work remotely, with estimates that over 80 million African citizens now have a remote work arrangement. We need to raise awareness, foster culture change, and learn how to learn, to become more lean and agile in Africa.
Recruitment Process has Changed
