Wema Bank Secures Prestigious Workplace Certification
Wema Bank has been recognized as the best workplace for millennials and for fostering a culture of innovation, as highlighted in a recent announcement. The bank shared in a statement on Thursday that this recognition follows its certification as a Great Place to Work for 2024-2025, marking the second consecutive year it has achieved this prestigious distinction.
The Great Place to Work certification is a globally acknowledged standard that evaluates an organization’s workplace culture, practices, and employee feedback. Wema Bank’s consistent focus on creating a positive environment and prioritizing employee well-being was credited as the key to this achievement.
According to the bank, it has distinguished itself in the industry through various initiatives. These include offering exceptional employee benefits such as one of the longest standard leave days, a cost-of-living adjustment to help employees cope with economic changes, and a salary increase for non-full-time equivalent staff. The bank also provides access to a standard creche and a fully equipped gym, emphasizing work-life balance and promoting physical wellness.
The Managing Director and CEO of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, highlighted that the accolades stem from the institution’s strong commitment to employee welfare. He emphasized the important role millennials play in the bank’s success, stating, “At Wema Bank, we understand that our exceptional output as a bank is a direct result of the dedicated input of our employees, especially the millennials who continue to drive our success. We remain focused on providing an enriching and fulfilling work experience for all our employees.”
In addition to its workplace achievements, Wema Bank has also made strides in the digital space. Recently, it unveiled ALATPay, a payment gateway designed for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria. ALATPay provides a secure, end-to-end shopping experience for customers and instant settlement for merchants via a unique merchant link, positioning Wema Bank as an innovative leader in financial services.
