Let’s Talk About Work Culture - Thriving or Toxic?

Work Culture in Africa: The Good, The Bad & The Fixable with Emmanuel Ihim

African Work Culture: Progress or Just Vibes? In this first episode of Workplace Pulse Check, I sit down with Emmanuel Ihim, a People & Culture expert who has worked across corporate, startup, and global organizations. We dive into what’s working, what’s not, and the big shifts happening in African workplaces. We talk about: * The rise of employer branding and remote work—real change or just great PR? * The "we’re a family here" trap—when company culture is just guilt-tripping in disguise. * Why African work culture struggles with leadership, fair pay, and work-life balance * Practical ways employees and employers can create better workplaces And of course, we end with a hilarious quick-fire round with Emmanuel. If you’ve ever questioned how work should be, this episode is for you. Listen in, laugh a little, and let’s get real about workplace culture in Africa.
