The Deputy Chief Executive (Services) VRA, Dr. Mrs. Irene Stella Agyenim-Boateng has declared that the debate is no longer about HR being a science or an art, but is both a science and an art. She said this at the just ended L’AINE HR Interactive session which took place in the morning of Friday, 12th September 2021.
The event, organised by HR Focus and was themed “HR Leadership for Organisational and People Development” and saw up to over 150 HR Practitioners attending.
In her keynote address, she highlighted various ways in which HR Practitioners can serve the interest of business leaders. She said, “As HR Leaders, you should not just know what your business entails, instead, you also need to consider increased revenue and reduced cost in order to present strategic solutions to your organisation”.
Dr. Mrs. Agyenim-Boateng also stated that “Though technology rules the world, it is people who make it happen.”
Also speaking at the L’AINE HR Interactive was the Chief Executive (CE) of L’AINE Services, Dr. Mrs Ellen Hagan. She said, “Leadership, as we should all know is a mindset and lifestyle.

Emmanuel Afriyie Amoako, HR Business Partner, Enterprise Insurance & Enterprise Properties; also contributed to the conversation through an engaging panel discussion, where practical solutions were proffered for day-to-day problems that are faced by HR Practitioners.
Mr. Hussein Edward Abugri reiterated the need to understand the business of one’s organisation. He said, “The HR practitioner must be a marketer, marketing the company and its products. He or she must also take everyone’s opinions into consideration.”
In addressing the concept of Employer Branding, Rev. Emmanuel Afriyie Amoako said, “To build a good employer brand, you need to be an employer of choice”.
