On Wednesday, 22nd November 2023, The Humanistic Management Network Nigeria Chapter organized a webinar with the theme titled “Balancing Business Objectives and Employees’ Needs”. Dr. Adaora Onaga, the Chapter Lead HMN Nigeria gave the welcome address and a brief history of HMN Nigeria.

She also talked about the background of the theme whose objective is to shed more light on the systematic and practical approaches for business and organizational managers and leaders to align their business objectives with the needs of their workforce/human capital, as well as how to evaluate the ensuing results and impact of their actions.

The moderators, Mrs. Enitan Oteju Ibironke and Dr. Adeleke Adedeji gave a brief introduction of the two guest speakers, Dr. Emeka Osuji (Associate Professor of Economics, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos, Nigeria) and Mr. Olusoji Adeniyi (Former Chairman, United Nations Pensions Fund).

The speakers addressed the potential trade-offs, conflicts and ethical dilemmas that may arise in the process of creating this important corporate equilibrium, and advanced ways and means through which they may be addressed in a more responsible and sustainable manner.

There was a very interactive Q&A session anchored by the moderators after which Dr. Adaora Onaga gave the closing remarks to end the webinar.
