Types of Employees you meet in the Workplace
As the mass resignation continues, more employees are looking to change jobs, with an emphasis on stock options, flexible working hours, a better work life balance and better pay. This has led to an increase in mobility of labour, with several employees becoming digital nomads, sometimes working two jobs at the same time. However, as you search for talent, it is important to understand the characteristics of the types of employees you have or plan to hire and the number of generations in the workplace so you can evolve appropriate H.R. policies to cater for the needs of “Boomers”, “Gen X”, “Millennials” and “Gen Z”.

Startups in Nigeria have succeeded in raising millions of dollars in funding. Some Startups have even surpassed the 1 (one) billion dollar valuation, thus becoming unicorns. In this update, Megathos Law Practice gives a snapshot of Possible Regulatory Gaps in the Startup Industry. Government Regulation vs A Self-Regulated Startup Industry… The United States subprime mortgage crisis was a financial crisis that occurred between 2007 and 2010 that contributed to the 2007–2008 global financial meltdown. This was caused in part by the widely touted myth, “that markets can mature to the point where industry players begin to self-regulate”. The reality is that Government through the relevant Regulatory agencies needs to play the role of “pater familias” in regulating the Startup industry.  Self-Regulation is a myth as far as “capitalism” is concerned! Several foreign investors are taking advantage of Nigeria’s ranking as one of the leading Startup ecosystems in Africa to invest in Nigeria’s digital economy.
