Wema Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, has been officially certified as a Great Place To Work for the year 2024-2025, marking the Bank’s second consecutive year receiving the Great Place To Work, GPTW certification.
Great Place To Work is recognised worldwide as the global authority on workplace culture. With a comprehensive assessment of organisational culture, practices, and employee feedback, the Great Place To Work certification serves as an unequivocal endorsement of an organisation’s positive work culture and commitment to employee well-being—as is the case with Wema Bank’s two-time Great Place To Work certification.
Wema Bank’s remarkable track record reflects an unwavering commitment to employee well-being and positive work culture.
The Bank currently offers one of the longest standard leave days in the industry, provides employees with a Cost-Of-Living Adjustment, COLA to cushion the impact of economic fluctuations, provides employees with a standard crèche for their infants and a fully equipped gym for fitness enthusiasts, and within the year, also increased salaries for Non-Full-Time Equivalent (NFTE) employees.
From work-life balance to prioritising mental health for employees, promoting physiological wellness, and enhancing professional expertise towards career success, upward reviews of allowances and a host of other unique benefits Wema Bank continues to curate for its employees; the Bank is deserving of its successive Great Place To Work certifications.
MD/CEO of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, attributed the two-time certification to the Bank’s deep-rooted commitment to employee wellbeing. “At Wema Bank, we understand that our exceptional output as a Bank results from the dedicated input of our employees, the Wema Bank Knights, and we acknowledge the indispensable role they continue to play in our growth and success as a Bank.
This is why we continue to pull all the stops to provide an enriching, productive, supportive, and fulfilling work experience for our employees. This is a commitment that we will never compromise on”.
“We are honoured by the recognition of Great Place To Work. This certification not only attests to our dedication to fostering a culture of excellence and empowering our employees with the best quality of work experience towards their personal and professional success but also drives us to keep up the good work and exceed even more goals and expectations in enhancing employee experience.
We take this as a challenge to go above and beyond in providing a fulfilling work experience for every Wema Bank employee and we trust that the strength of our internal framework will continue to reflect positively externally as we fulfill our lifelong goal of providing optimum value for every stakeholder of Wema Bank”, Oseni concluded.
Wema Bank earned its first Great Place To Work certificate in 2023, additionally bagging four awards at the Great Place To Work Awards 2023, which are: 2nd Best Place to Work in Nigeria (Large Corporate Organisation Category), Best in Promoting the Culture of Innovation by All, Best in Promoting Learning and Development Practices and The Victor Ligbago Award for Best Workplace for Millennials.
