- Organisations must strategically treat, recognise, and engage employees to attract and retain talent in a competitive global labour market.
- Remote work allows African professionals, like those in Accra, to work for global companies, making non-financial benefits (recognition, belonging, purpose) crucial for talent retention.
- Employees often leave organisations not solely due to compensation, but because they feel unseen, unvalued, and mentally disengaged.
- Intentional, timely, consistent, and peer-to-peer recognition, along with deliberate listening, are vital practices for leaders to foster a valued workforce and manage multi-generational teams.
