‘Remote work is revolutionising the way we think about talent in Africa,’ according to Ahmad Ramadan General Manager of Human Resources at Bayobab. ‘It enables businesses to tap into a broader pool of skills, unrestricted by geography, and offers employees the chance to integrate work with their personal lives more seamlessly.’ Africa is part of the global trend toward remote work, but it has its own set of unique challenges, such as infrastructure and cultural and linguistic diversity. The continent also offers limitless opportunities for organisations that are positioned to tap into Africa’s immense talent pool.
