Academic City University has once again been recognised for its outstanding human resource practices, winning two major awards at this year’s HR Focus Conference.

The university was adjudged Best HR in Education Management (Indigenous) and Best Indigenous Organisation in Diversity and Inclusion.

In addition, the university’s Senior Human Resource Manager, Bernice Adu-Gyamfi, was named 1st finalist for the HR Manager of the Year award.

This year’s recognition is another milestone in Academic City’s growth as one of Ghana’s leading modern universities.

The awards, won in a highly competitive field, show the university’s strong commitment to building a workplace where teamwork, care and continuous learning are valued.

The HR Focus Conference is a gathering for HR professionals and business leaders which celebrates institutions that demonstrate innovation and best practices in human capital management.

The annual event provides a platform for thought leaders and organisations to share insights on building resilient and inclusive workplaces that drive productivity and impact.

Speaking on the awards, Bernice Aba Adu-Gyamfi, said the awards are evidence of the university’s commitment to its staff, adding that it is a validation of Academic City’s philosophy that education and humanity must grow hand in hand.

“At Academic City, we believe that the strength of our university lies in our people. These awards affirm our belief that when employees feel valued, respected, and supported, they deliver their best, ultimately enhancing the student experience,” she said.

She added that the university’s HR policies have been carefully designed to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion while ensuring that every staff member feels a sense of belonging and purpose.

Mrs Adu-Gyamfi dedicated the awards to Lesley Yasmin Sosi, HR Associate and expressed her appreciation to the Academic City team for all their support in achieving these awards.

“We continue to build an environment that encourages personal growth, celebrates differences, and supports innovation. That’s the Academic City way,” she noted.
