November Note from Doheney

We’ve stepped into December, the final chapter of the year, and it offers the perfect moment to reflect on the work we’ve done together throughout November.

Last month was a powerful reminder that organisations don’t thrive by accident; they thrive when their people, systems, and strategy work in alignment.

Across our Recruitment, HR Outsourcing, HR Advisory, and Learning & Development services, November was filled with businesses seeking clarity, capability, and structure. Whether it was strengthening hiring systems, enhancing team capabilities, or providing interim HR support, we saw one clear trend: organisations want to enter 2026 more prepared, more intentional, and more people-focused.

As always, we’re honoured to support that growth.

November at a Glance

Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to across our service units:

  • Delivered multiple corporate training sessions for organisations across various sectors, from leadership development to performance management and HR operations.
  • Supported companies through HR outsourcing engagements, ensuring their people processes run smoothly and professionally.
  • Worked closely with clients to refine hiring pipelines, attract stronger talent, and improve the overall recruitment experience.
  • Provided HR advisory and policy support for organisations seeking structure, compliance, and culture alignment.

And as we move into December, our training calendar remains open with a few available slots for the rest of Q4.

Industry Updates & What’s Shaping the World of Work

Here are some key insights influencing HR and business decisions right now:

• HR teams are carrying more strategic responsibility than ever

Global reports continue to show HR departments feeling stretched as expectations rise, from culture-building to change management to workforce analytics.

• Global hiring trends remain strong

A recent jobs index revealed a 16% year-on-year growth in white-collar vacancies, especially in tech and finance, signalling a competitive talent market heading into 2026.

• The future of work is shifting fast, and African organisations must adapt

Skill-based hiring, hybrid work, AI-driven HR systems, and culture-forward leadership continue to define workplace evolution across Nigeria and beyond.

These trends highlight what we’ve always believed: strong HR systems are the foundation of sustainable business success.
