Transitioning from administrative to strategic HR, with Portia Thokoane
In the past, HR was focused on administrative tasks such as payroll and benefits. However, in recent years, HR has had to adapt to a more strategic role that includes talent acquisition, employee engagement, and retention.
In this episode, Dark Fibre Africa's former CHRO Portia Thokoane revisits her own transition from administrative to strategic HR, detailing the highs and lows that shaped the leader she is today. Portia, who won the Employee Value Proposition award at the 2022 CHRO Awards also talks about the special sauce that made Dark Fibre Africa such an amazing place to work.
