Telecel Ghana has been honoured with the Best Human Resource Management in Telecommunications and Information Technology award at the 2025 HR Focus Africa Conference and Awards.

This is in recognition of the telecommunications company’s leadership in talent management, innovation and future-readiness.

The award, presented by the Global HR Excellence Forum, recognised the track record of the telco in people-centred transformation and organisational excellence.

The annual conference, held at the Accra International Conference Centre under the theme “Equity, Innovation & Impact: Reimagining Work and Talent in Africa’s Emerging Future,” brought together HR leaders and business executives from across the continent to discuss the evolving role of HR in an era of digital transformation.

Receiving the accolade together with the HR team, Telecel Ghana’s Human Resource Director, Rachael Appenteng, said the recognition further underlines the company’s devotion to talent development and diversity and inclusion practices.

“This recognition only affirms our entrenched commitment and consistency in putting people at the center of HR innovation. We are proud to lead with purpose by developing a diverse talent pipeline, empowering our teams with innovative tech skills, and shaping a future where people, technology and performance grow together,” she said.

Rachael also joined a panel conversation on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), where she emphasised the need for intentional leadership and inclusive workplace cultures that allow every employee to thrive.

The conversations and presentations centred on how organisations can leverage technology without forgoing empathy, equity, and human connection at the workplace.

The telco’s recognition follows its consistent track record as a Top Employer for seven consecutive years, driven by progressive policies, transparent leadership, and a commitment to workforce development.

Adding to the plaudits, Michael Awuku from Telecel’s HR team was named among the top five nominees for HR Rising Star of the Year, highlighting the company’s investment in nurturing young talent.

Telecel Ghana continues to align its HR strategy with its broader mission of digital transformation and sustainable business growth, demonstrating that in a technology-driven world, people remain its most powerful asset.
