Heritage Bank partners Workforce group to promote impactful leadership
By: HighCelebritySquard
Heritage Bank Plc, Nigeria’s most
innovative banking service provider, has partnered Workforce group in a bid to
enhance impactful leadership that will contribute to the financial performance
of an organisation.
Speaking at a Learning &
Development Leaders Conference organised by Workforce group in Lagos,
yesterday, Mrs. Tochi Onuoha, Head, Learning and Development with Heritage Bank
posited that it is imperative for the learning and development team of an
organisation to understand the strategy of the organisation and build
initiatives around it so that it could get management’s buy-in.
Onuoha noted that generally,
management sees learning and development unit of the organisation as a cost
centre and not as a revenue generating unit and therefore it is important to
come up with initiatives that would impact on return on investment (ROI) in
line with the organizational drive.
She noted that the impact might not
be felt immediately but in the long run management would notice it, adding that
it is better to have a well bonded team that is able to achieve better result
than one that is not working as a team.
The head of Learning and Development
of the Bank also advised business young professionals to invest in themselves
more than their organisations’ in a bid to enhance their career growth and
development.
Earlier, some chief executive
offices had expressed the views that a unit that does not understand the
business strategy of a firm as well as the business environment in which it
operates, should be outsourced in a bid to make such organisation run as a
learner firm.
According to them for you to survive
in business you must understand the language of business, which is finance and
that it is imperative to bring value to the table, otherwise, such a unit is
not relevant to the overall well-being of the organisation.
The Learning & Development
Leaders Conference brought together more than 300 Learning and Development
executives, CEOs, heads of human resources and heads of strategy to discuss key
issues, originate new ideas and learn key role of learning and development as a
strategic tool for organizational transformation and growth.
The conference was tailored to meet
the needs of learning and development executives by exposing them to practical
tools and useful tips on growing leaders, learning transfer strategies,
measuring ROI of L&D, strategic talent development as well as strategies
for gaining management support for L&D initiatives.
