Editor’s Note

Dear Pulsers,

Welcome to the third edition of Pulse HR magazine, your premier source for navigating the ever-evolving landscape of human resources in Namibia and beyond. Our latest issue is centred on HR technology and the role of the HR practitioner in enabling digital transformation.

This time, our cover story showcases an industry luminary, Tim Ekandjo, whose vision to professionalise the HR profession in Namibia has helped to shape and shine a spotlight on the HR profession. In the candid interview, Ekandjo reflects on IPMs 11 plus years of existence and casts his vision for the future of the professional body and the HR profession in Namibia.

As the year winds down, it’s common for both employees and organisations to slow down. Our feature on conquering end-of-year fatigue offers advice on staying energised during this period to help you power through in a healthy and budget friendly way.

Among the thought-provoking articles featured in this edition are career tips to help you select the right employer when you get an offer, and an inspiring opinion piece on how HR practitioners can claim their rightful place as strategic partners by going beyond what is typically expected.

We’re delighted to see our community of HR Pulsers growing. Your contributions, feedback, and engagement continue to inspire us, and we are committed to making each issue even more informative and insightful.

Thank you for being part of our vibrant community, and for your unwavering support. We encourage you to share your thoughts, ideas, and success stories with us. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of HR excellence.

Warm regards

Aletta Shikololo
