Ghana is set to become the epicenter of HR innovation as top human resource practitioners and business executives from across the world gather for the second edition of the Global Conference on Human Resources in Africa (GCHRA).
Taking place August 13–16, 2025, at the prestigious Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, this landmark event will explore how cutting-edge technology and strategic HR leadership are reshaping the workforce.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition in 2024, GCHRA 2025 continues to push boundaries, championing AI-driven HR solutions, workforce agility, and leadership excellence. In partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), this year’s conference will convene under the theme: “Leveraging Technology to Enhance Workforce Productivity and Optimize Efficiency.”
Renowned industry leaders, including GCHRA24 keynote speaker Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., President and CEO of SHRM, will address Africa’s urgent workforce challenges and opportunities. In a recent LinkedIn post, Taylor underscored the critical role of HR in Africa’s rapid economic evolution, noting:
“Human beings are the most important asset of every economy. With Africa poised to become the most populated continent on the planet, investing in HR development is more critical than ever.”
Africa’s workforce is on the cusp of dramatic transformation, with its population expected to double to 2.5 billion by 2050. As industries such as manufacturing, digital technology, and green energy expand, HR professionals must build talent pipelines that drive sustainable growth.
Taylor also highlighted the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as a game-changer, set to cover 1.7 billion people and generate $6.7 trillion in spending by 2030.
Rita Kusi, Strategic Execution and Planning, GCHRA, noted, “I am truly energized by Africa’s remarkable progress, particularly in the development of its human resources. As Johnny C. Taylor Jr. aptly stated, the time for Africa is now—there has never been a more critical moment to invest in and support its workforce evolution.
We invite businesses offering cutting-edge technology products and services to be part of this transformative journey. GCHRA25 provides an unparalleled opportunity to showcase tools and solutions to an audience of senior-level, key decision-making HR professionals from some of the world’s leading companies. Join us in shaping the future of work across the continent.”
