The training, held on November 5 and 6, examined how effective workforce management can improve institutional performance, accountability and governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme, titled <strong>People, Performance &amp; Professionalism: Modern Human Resource Management for Regulatory Institutions<\/strong>, covered five main areas: people management, performance management, professionalism, strategic human resource management, and leadership and employee relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants learnt how to set clear expectations for employees, monitor their performance and use regular feedback to improve productivity. The sessions also addressed ethical conduct, integrity, workplace discipline and the importance of aligning human resource strategies with the commission\u2019s organisational goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training addressed how managers can handle workplace disputes and maintain productive relationships among employees. The facilitator, human resource strategist <strong>Vanessa Abah<\/strong>, said the training reinforced the changing role of human resource management, which she described as a strategic partner in institutional growth, governance and performance rather than solely an administrative function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added that effective people management was particularly important for regulatory institutions such as ESGC, where transparency, accountability, compliance and public trust are essential. Abah noted that the training addressed these priorities by focusing on employees\u2019 professional development and the commission\u2019s organisational effectiveness. Its interactive sessions also allowed staff to exchange ideas and demonstrate leadership potential.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/09\/GKL-and-Kangwon-Land-signs-HR-agreement-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/enugu-gaming-regulator-joins-graf-as-full-member\">Enugu gaming regulator joins GRAF as full member<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Participants explored ways to improve productivity through clear performance expectations, regular feedback and stronger workplace accountability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2395,"featured_media":31828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The Enugu State Gaming and Lottery Commission (ESGC) staff participated in a two-day human resource management training focused on enhancing institutional performance, accountability, and governance.
