MTN Ghana has pledged to achieve a 50/50 balance of their workforce by 2030 as part of its Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) initiative. This remark was made by the Acting Chief Human Resource Officer, Mr. Abdallah Ibrahim as part of activities to mark International Women’s Day in Accra.
Mr. Ibrahim said that MTN Ghana’s D&I aims to include less represented groups, such as women and the differently abled, and has over the past two years made efforts to bridge that gap. “We want to be able to improve women’s representation in leadership positions,” he added.
He said that the company was targeting aggressive ways to be able to achieve their D&I by 2030 by reconsidering external recruitment and internal programmes such as Women in Technology to help develop women. He disclosed that close to 60 percent of external hires in 2023 were female, and MTN Ghana aimed to do an additional 1.5 percent in 2024.
