An emerging HR thought leader with interest in People Development, Organizational Design and Institutional Change. His focus is on helping organizations design and align long-term strategic aspirations with people-centered initiatives required to drive performance, profitability and growth efficiently bearing in mind the realities of the new world of work.

He is currently the Group Head, Human Resources for Consolidated Hallmark Insurance where he is responsible for providing strategic leadership for all people-related aspirations across the Group including Hallmark HMO, CHI Micro Insurance and GTL.

Gbenga’s professional HR experience spans about 12 years in consulting and practice with different organizations from major sectors of the Nigerian economy, as well as Africa and Europe.

In this episode, here are some of the statements from his words:

On Hiring - “Some CEOs have employees they cannot sack.”

On Staff Contracts - “If you have any staff that has worked for you 3 months on without an offer letter and a proper job description, discussed with the employee, agreed mutually and signed, it is illegal.”

On Japa (Brain Drain) - “Any Nigerian business can leverage the relocation of their expert staff to upgrade their local services while serving the families of the same staff that relocated.”

On Guaranteed Monthly Staff Salaries - “if you have 3 or more staff, and you listen to this episode to the end, there is a FREE INVITATION for you.”

These are some thoughts I shared with Gbenga Totoyi in Episode 10 of HOW I DID IT on #TheOctopusPodcast 

Gbenga is a BIG MASQUERADE in HR. This episode will WoW you.

Take a listen then tell me what you think. Don't forget to share this with that Founder, CEO, MD, HR Manager, GM, and even Parents who are ready to send their wards to tertiary institutions (and those already there). YES! Gbenga has something for them too.

Enjoy!!!
