Hogan Assessments, the global leader in workplace personality assessment, will host a Pan-African virtual conference on Tuesday, October 24, to explore how personality impacts business outcomes in Africa and beyond.

The free event, hosted in collaboration with authorised Hogan distributors Career Connections, JVR Africa Group, and Phoenix Consulting International, will feature compelling case studies from a variety of businesses in different regions across the continent.

Africa is at a pivotal juncture in its development journey. To fully harness its potential and achieve sustainable growth, Africa must use the invaluable asset it possesses in its human resources. The key to unlocking this potential lies in leveraging effective assessment methods to cultivate leadership that thrives even in the face of high volatility.

“Hogan has had a strong presence in Africa for several years now, working closely with our partners in every corner of the continent,” said Hogan Assessments CEO Wendy Howell Hogan, MA. “Through this work, we have seen significant growth potential, and this Pan-African conference aims to further strengthen our ties to the region.”

The conference offers attendees the opportunity to learn about leadership performance and resilience during times of volatility, how to use assessments to promote leadership for disruption, how to integrate values assessment to develop an Ubuntu culture, and much more.

“Effective leadership is essential for organizations to survive,” said JVR Africa Group CEO Jopie de Beer, PhD. “And, in Africa, being able to adapt to changing circumstances is critical to being an effective leader.
