Wema Bank has emerged as Nigeria’s top workplace for 2024, a prestigious honor awarded by the Great Place to Work (GPTW) organization.
The award ceremony, held in Lagos, recognized Wema Bank’s strong commitment to employee satisfaction, wellness, and a progressive work culture.
The Great Place to Work awards are celebrated globally for evaluating organizations based on employee feedback and cultural assessments. These awards leverage a detailed Trust Index Survey, examining leadership, employee experience, and workplace culture.
Wema Bank’s distinction this year reflects its strides in employee support and satisfaction. Beyond this recognition, the bank also claimed the Platinum Award, celebrating it as Nigeria’s premier workplace and marking a rise from last year’s second-place rank among large corporations.
Moruf Oseni, Managing Director and CEO of Wema Bank, expressed profound gratitude for the award, attributing it to the commitment of the bank’s staff and their shared values. “This award reflects the true perception of our employees about their workplace, providing a work experience where employees feel valued and supported,” He stated.
Employee benefits at Wema Bank are thoughtfully crafted to support well-being, including competitive salaries adjusted for cost of living, a robust Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, and pension benefits. The bank’s support for families extends to facilities like an on-site crèche for employees with young children, along with a well-equipped gym to foster physical wellness. Recognizing the significance of mental health, Wema Bank has introduced Employee Assistance Programs that offer free counseling and therapy sessions, addressing both personal and professional challenges.
Named the Best Workplace in Nigeria, Wema Bank has set an industry standard, challenging other organizations to elevate their own workplace environments. Through initiatives focused on employee development and satisfaction, the bank exemplifies how prioritizing employees can drive business success and customer satisfaction.
The GPTW Awards honor companies that continuously strive to improve employee experiences, and Wema Bank’s recognition shines a light on a broader shift within Nigeria’s corporate culture, one that values and prioritizes the well-being of its workforce as a pathway to achieving excellence.
