Professional engagement in Gabon: challenges, perspectives and solutions

In a context of social, economic and cultural transformations, Gabon must face up to challenges in the area of professional engagement. This book explores the facets of this issue based on empirical studies carried out in Libreville, Franceville and Oyem. Libreville, the economic and political centre, reflects the issues of large companies and public institutions. Franceville, an industrial and mining centre, highlights the challenges associated with involvement in strategic sectors such as energy and natural resources. Oyem, to the north, offers a unique perspective on work in remote areas, particularly in the primary and informal sectors. The book analyses the imbalances between personal and professional life, the shortcomings of HR policies and regional constraints. It proposes concrete solutions: inclusive leadership, strengthened local skills, better working conditions, innovative management and modern technologies. This book offers avenues for strengthening competitiveness, improving employee well-being and promoting sustainable engagement in a changing Gabon.
