HR TALKS: Guhuza amategeko y’umurimo n’iterambere ry’abakozi (“Aligning Labor Laws with Employee Development “)
In the latest HR Talks by People Matters (led by Steven Murenzi, Assoc. CIPD, CSHRP and in collaboration with KaizenMind), we unpacked key questions:
How do labor laws shape employee development?
Which key labor laws should every HR professional know—especially those just starting their career?
What role does HR play in employee training, and what are the employer’s legal obligations?
Do we all interpret labor laws the same way? Should every HR professional master them?
What’s the easiest way to access and stay updated on Rwanda’s labor laws?
How can AI in HR decision-making comply with labor laws on fairness and discrimination?

“There is no better catalyst to success than curiosity.“ – Michael Dell

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” – Nelson Mandela

Training youth with disabilities on employability skills was a wake-up call. Many face hidden barriers—like the high cost of a cab just to attend an interview. Yet, they show up, driven by hope.

Their resilience is inspiring. They know their worth despite the challenges.

Employers, HR, Hiring Managers—don’t let doubt hold you back. These youth bring skills, value, and determination to your team.

Need guidance? We offer free support to help you confidently recruit and integrate people with impairments. Let’s make inclusion a reality.

Kudos to NUDOR RWANDA, Light for the World& all involved!

“Accessibility allows us to tap into everyone’s potential.” – Debra Ruh

Our 5-day training on Disability Inclusion & Mainstreaming with USAID Rwanda Hanga Akazi & UPHLS was a reality check.

Sometimes, our good intentions reinforce barriers instead of breaking them. We may feel sympathy, but what’s truly needed is empathy and empowerment.

Mary Maina MPH, PMP® said it best: “We ALL fall short in one way or another.” Yet, we can ALL thrive.

At KaizenMind, we’re rethinking inclusion:
How do we coach someone with hearing impairment?
How do we optimize placement for an employee of short stature?
How do we ensure our training truly includes everyone?

This journey is just beginning.

Huge thanks to UPHLS & USAID Rwanda Hanga Akazi for this transformation!

“Knowledge is not power, but potential power.” – Tony Robbins

Remember your first job interview? The shaky hands, trembling voice? Mine was a disaster—I wasn’t ready.

That’s why Kepler College Rwanda’s mock interviews are so impactful. Students don’t just learn—they practice, refine, and build confidence. Knowledge becomes power when put into action.

Each student brought their unique flair, but one thing united them: they know their worth. They’re stepping into the world with purpose and determination.

Kudos to Kepler College | Rwanda for fostering this mindset and to the students for their courage!

We’re honored to have stood on the shoulders of giants—K2 HR Services, mHub – The Mental Health Hub, and SolidMinds Rwanda.

Be the Change – Prioritize your mental health to support others. Address stigma and encourage employees to seek help without fear.
Break the Spiral – One person can break the cycle of toxicity.
Emotional Intelligence – Self-awareness fosters open dialogue.
Vulnerability is Strength – Hiding emotions is a trauma response!
Empathy Matters – If you can’t feel empathy, think empathy.
Listen to Your Body – Pain speaks when words don’t—don’t ignore it.
