Trick of the Day: Allow employees to experience a one-hour simulation of another role within the company. This simple, low-cost exercise deepens appreciation for cross-functional tasks and often improves collaboration across departments.

Resource of the Day

The Federal Government of Nigeria, in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM), is promoting unified HR standards across public and private sectors. The aim is to professionalize HR practices, reduce disparities in HR execution, and support talent development at a national scale. This includes drafting a standard HR competency model and pushing for its adoption across organizations. It's a model that other nations, especially those with fragmented HR systems, might consider following to raise the baseline of practice.
