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. He is also a Partner at Alan&Grant – a boutique People Development Company delivering bespoke solutions to organizations in core six (6) practice areas; Advisory, Strategy Design & Execution, Learning & Organization Design, Recruitment & Executive Selection, Outsourcing & Workforce Management, People Analytics & Surveys.

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!!!

WHAT IS YOUR FAMILY TREE?

Imagine getting on an international flight in the 80's at the age of 12 with your siblings to boarding school in the UK.  😳😳😳

Imagine working with  'The Bulldozer' and being thrown in at the Business deep end and literally resigning every day 😂😂🤣

Imagine losing your soul mate, friend, lover and paddy after 25 memorable years of marriage. 💔 ❤️‍🩹 

Imagine presenting to an International Board of Directors as a green horn, and being bombarded with tough questions in the Board room. 🎯📚💰

There is so much to imagine with Aunty Zee. This episode with Hajia Zainab Mustapha Jaji is easily a masterpiece. Giving this episode a title was a challenge for us because it was a LIFE MASTERCLASS. We scribbled several titles before we concluded on the one we published. 

I promise you, listening to this episode will have you reflecting about life, love, and living. Everything about Aunty Zee and her full family tree (I was privileged to see around 7 generations of family tree in the Legacy Centre ) is LEGACY!!! You will feel it in this episode and you will thank me for bringing it to you.

Enjoy with me … and don’t forget to share with someone in your family. This is another family meeting episode.

Thank you.
