Fuel Prices, Leadership Shifts & Workplace Wins—Your Weekly Recap

Another Saturday is here, and today, we’re bringing you the most relevant workplace stories from Ghana! From leadership changes to health concerns and sustainability, here’s what’s shaping the world of work this week.

🔹 Leadership Lessons from Ghana’s New BoG Governor

Dr. Johnson Asiamah has been nominated as the new Governor of the Bank of Ghana. Leadership transitions are always a moment of reflection—what makes a great leader? Whether in government or at your office, the best leaders bring vision, adaptability, and collaboration. If you’re stepping into a leadership role, take inspiration from this transition: listen, learn, and lead with purpose. #LeadershipMatters

🔹 Guinness Ghana Changes Hands – But Workers Keep the Magic Alive

Diageo has sold its 80% stake in Guinness Ghana Breweries to Castel Group. Big changes in ownership can be unsettling for employees, but one thing remains constant—you are the heart of the company. If your workplace is facing change, focus on what you do best and embrace new opportunities that may arise. #ResilienceAtWork

🔹 Workplace Wellness Alert: Cholera Cases on the Rise

A cholera outbreak in the Central Region is a reminder to prioritize hygiene and health at work. Employers and employees alike should ensure clean water access, proper sanitation, and good handwashing habits. A healthy workplace is a productive workplace! Check in on your colleagues—well-being starts with awareness. #WorkplaceWellness

🔹 Gold Industry Shake-Up – Supporting Small-Scale Miners

Ghana is establishing a Gold Board to help small-scale miners earn more and reduce smuggling. While this impacts the mining industry directly, it’s also a broader lesson in fair pay, ethical business, and economic empowerment. In your own workplace, advocate for fairness, support your peers, and recognize the value of everyone’s work. #FairWorkForAll

🔹 Fuel Prices & Work Commutes – Time to Rethink How We Travel?

Fuel price adjustments start February 1—diesel and LPG are going up, but petrol is slightly dropping. It’s a good time to rethink work commutes:

✅ Carpooling – Team up with colleagues to save costs.

✅ Remote Work Days – If your job allows, consider working from home.

✅ Public Transport or Cycling – Eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Small changes can reduce stress, save money, and even improve work-life balance. How do you make your commute better? Let us know! #SmartWorkCommutes
