The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has called on the Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management (CIHRM) to take bold steps in addressing rising cases of indiscipline and low productivity in Ghana’s workplaces. The minister expressed concern over issues such as excessive social media use, lateness, and absenteeism among workers.
Speaking at the CIHRM 2025 Conference in Accra, Alhaji Iddrisu charged HR practitioners to promote discipline, accountability, and ethical workplace behavior. He noted that institutions are suffering from a culture of distraction and declining work ethic, and urged CIHRM to set the tone in guiding HR practice in Ghana.
The minister also encouraged the Institute to play a proactive role in shaping labor-related policies and HR regulations, leveraging its technical expertise to support effective implementation. The conference brought together HR professionals, government representatives, and organizational leaders to discuss strategies for strengthening human capital management in Ghana.
