HR Trends in Africa
Deloitte conducted a survey to examine the influence of important economic and human resource (HR) trends on global mobility in Africa.
- The poll included more than 60 respondents from firms spanning seven industry sectors. All of the organizations were either based in Africa or had a significant commercial involvement there.
- While the number of employees is projected to rise in the future, a shift in the kind of assignment used by firms is expected, with 80% of survey respondents believing that persons moving to and from Africa on local employment conditions will increase in the next two years.
- However, in more than 82 percent of situations, enterprises lack a documented policy for migrations to, from, or within Africa.
- While career advancement is a top priority for the majority of outbound assignments from Africa, skills transfer remains a primary reason for organizations sending people to and within Africa.
- As an emerging market for many industry sectors, and with an expected increase in the number of moves, businesses should consider how to overcome not only the issue of security, but also rising assignment costs, difficulties for the employees and family with integrating into the host location, and the lack of spousal support normally provided, in order to improve return on investment for both the business and the employee.
