ADP Talks

Welcome to ADP Talks: Workforce Dynamics Africa.  In this podcast we deep dive into Africa’s growth and the stories shaping its future. My name is Basma Haouari, and in my role at ADP, I've witnessed how innovation, leadership and people-driven solutions are transforming businesses and communities across the continent.   Africa has the fastest growing and youngest workforce in the world. This is creating big changes in how businesses grow, and in how companies find talent. Whether you're a business leader, an HR professional, or just curious about the future of work, this podcast is for you.  Let’s rethink, reimagine and rediscover Africa together!
