Institute of People Management Malawi (IPMM) says Malawi is not fast enough to embrace new technologies that have affected the human resource sector.
IPMM Executive Director, Willy Nkhoma, added that their focus will be to tackle contemporary human resource strategies at its annual general meeting slated for 24 to 26 October 2024 in Mangochi.
Nkhoma was speaking in Blantyre on Tuesday when receiving a K1 Million donation from CDH Investment Bank towards the meeting.
Human Capital Development for CDH Investment Bank, Tiyezge Matandika, said the bank appreciates the role Human Resources Managers play in helping develop Malawi by enhancing productivity for sustainable economic development.
“The core resource of any organization is its people, and as leaders, we need to ensure we have in place strategies that drive the development of employees, empower employees and help them evolve and change for the benefit of any organization or economy”, she said.
The meeting will be held under the theme ” Navigating the new world of work: empowering people, embracing change and fostering resilience in a rapidly evolving and turbulent economic environment.”
