Labour law experts,
government representatives, academics, business leaders and health
professionals have gathered at the University of Ghana, Legon, for the Ghana
Health & Labour Summit 2026 to discuss ways to address Ghana’s talent
retention crisis.
The summit was held under
the theme “Work & Wellness – Fixing Ghana's Talent Retention Crisis” and
focused on the question of how Ghana can retain its talent.
Zeinab Ayariga, President
and Co-convenor of the Labour Law Society of Ghana (LLSG), said she had the
privilege of speaking at the summit, where she contributed a labour law
perspective to discussions on worker well-being and talent retention.
“Retaining talent is not
only a management challenge. It depends on how we regulate work, protect
workers and safeguard their well-being, and the law has a central role to play
in each of these,” Ayariga said in a LinkedIn post.
She also expressed pride in
the Labour Law Society of Ghana’s participation as an official partner of the
summit and thanked colleagues who joined the discussions and shared their
insights.
Ayariga acknowledged
MentaPulse Africa, the University of Ghana Business School, the Ministry of
Labour, Jobs and Employment, Telecel Ghana, as well as other sponsors and
partners, for the invitation and for convening the event.
She said discussions on
talent retention would continue through research, policy engagement and the
work of the Labour Law Society of Ghana.
