HumanManager Limited, a leading HR solutions provider, has emphasised the importance of leveraging workforce data to inform talent decisions and drive business performance. According to Managing Director Udy Ngele, organisations must understand their workforce capabilities and identify areas for skills development to remain competitive. This was stated at the 58th International Conference and Exhibition of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) held in Abuja. The conference brought together HR professionals, business leaders, and policymakers to discuss the future of work and people management.
The changing nature of work and skills requirements has made it crucial for employers to have a deep understanding of their workforce. Ngele stressed that people strategy can no longer be treated as separate from business strategy, and HR professionals must contribute to discussions around growth, transformation, and organisational resilience. With technology playing a vital role in providing workforce insights, organisations can make informed decisions about employee development and talent deployment. HumanManager's solutions aim to support organisations in achieving their business ambitions by building the necessary capabilities.
Group Head of Business Development and Partnerships, Abdulwasiu Issah, highlighted the need for organisations to have a clear understanding of their existing workforce capabilities. He emphasised that competency management is essential for identifying strengths, determining development priorities, and establishing areas where capabilities need to be strengthened. Issah noted that organisations cannot effectively develop their workforce without first understanding the capabilities already available within the organisation. This understanding is critical for making informed decisions about employee development and talent deployment.
The growing relationship between people capability and business performance has made workforce planning a broader organisational priority. Issah stated that workforce data is becoming increasingly important for decisions on employee development, talent deployment, succession planning, and workforce readiness. HumanManager's Competency Management Module is designed to provide organisations with greater visibility into workforce capabilities and areas requiring development. This module enables organisations to make data-driven decisions about their workforce and drive business performance.
Lead, Brands and Marketing, Jerry Adeyeri, noted that the changing nature of work is transforming the role of technology in human resource management. HR technology is moving beyond administering workforce processes to helping organisations understand their people, support employee development, and make informed decisions about workforce capabilities. Adeyeri emphasised that technology should enable organisations to understand and maximise the capabilities of their employees, rather than just manage their workforce.
HumanManager showcased its Competency Management Module at the CIPM conference, which brought together stakeholders to examine developments shaping the future of work and people management. The conference had the theme 'Repositioning for Value and Impact'. The module is designed to support organisations in leveraging workforce data to drive business performance and enhance talent development. By providing greater visibility into workforce capabilities, organisations can make informed decisions about employee development and talent deployment.
The conference provided a platform for HR professionals, business leaders, and policymakers to discuss the future of work and people management.
