Ecobank MySME Growth Series: Expert Proffers Solution to Manage Strategic Staff in “Japa” Era

Against the backdrop of the migration of Nigerian professionals, commonly regarded as ‘japa syndrome’ to developed countries of the world, a human resource expert, Hilda Kabushenga, CEO, The African Talent Company, has said though the factors are beyond organisations, managing talents within the context of new work realities would check the trend. Kabushenga who made this assertion in her presentation titled “ ‘Finding skilled labour in the japa era’ at the Ecobank Nigeria’s MySME Growth Series recently, pointed out that people are no longer looking for physical employment contracts, but “psychological contracts of experience”, adding that employers that want to hold on to their staff will have to embrace the “future of work”.
