DigitallyHR
Women make up over 70% of HR roles globally, yet they often earn less than their male counterparts. Moreover, in Africa, there is a significant digital divide—men generally have greater access to technology and digital skills compared to women. As AI becomes more prevalent, these gaps are not only persisting but potentially widening. AI can exacerbate the digital divide if women lack access to the latest technology and digital training. Additionally, this divide can further entrench the gender pay gap, as those with advanced digital skills are often better positioned for higher-paying roles. Without intervention, the risk is that AI and digital advancements could reinforce existing inequalities rather than bridging them.
DIgitallyHR is community dedicated to empowering HR professionals to bridge these divides. DigitallyHR provides a space to learn digital skills, access valuable resources, and a platform to utilize AI tools to automate daily tasks.
Join us let's make AI an empowering tool, especially for women in the HR profession.

Here at Tenovus Cancer Care we receive donated stock in many different ways, and this includes us collecting stock from supporters at their front door and picking up collections from local business partners.
All of this vital work needs to happen for us to raise more money to help cancer patients and their families.

Dependant on your volunteer location, duties may include but may not be limited to:
Predominantly assisting the Retail team in moving stock between shops
Taking this donated stock to shops and to the Warehouse
