SBP Africa was honoured to receive an invitation to the 11th Ghana National Chamber of Commerce (GNCCI) Accra Business Meeting, where our Group Head, Mr. Akugiri Antoni Lamisi, participated as a speaker, sharing valuable insights on strategic staffing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The meeting brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs and industry professionals to discuss issues affecting businesses and explore opportunities for collaboration, development and growth.
For SBP Africa, the invitation was an opportunity to contribute our expertise in human resource management and engage with stakeholders on the importance of effective workforce strategies in building successful businesses.
SBP Africa’s Contribution to the 11th GNCCI Accra Business Meeting
Representing SBP Africa, our Group Head, Akugiri Antoni Lamisi, took the stage as a speaker at the 11th GNCCI Accra Business Meeting, where he delivered insights on Strategic Staffing for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs).
His presentation explored how SMEs can move beyond reactive hiring and adopt a more strategic approach to workforce planning, ensuring that staffing decisions align with business objectives, operational demands and available resources.
He challenged business owners and decision-makers with a thought-provoking question:
“Are you hiring by plan or by panic?”
The presentation highlighted the importance of anticipating workforce needs, selecting appropriate staffing models and understanding the full cost of employment to build productive and sustainable businesses.
Strategic Staffing for SMEs and Sustainable Business Growth
Effective staffing is more than filling vacant positions. It involves understanding business objectives, identifying workforce gaps, choosing appropriate employment models and managing the full cost of employment.
For SMEs operating with limited resources, these decisions can significantly influence productivity, service delivery and profitability.
Strategic staffing for SMEs therefore requires a clear understanding of present workforce capacity and future business needs. When recruitment and workforce management are properly aligned, organisations are better positioned to manage operational demands, control costs and achieve sustainable SME business growth.
At SBP Africa, we believe that effective human resource management should be a strategic business priority rather than an administrative afterthought.
