In our assessment, the Reward and Recognition ceremony has improved staff morale, engendered healthy competition and brought improved productivity, the Head, Human Resources, Khadija Kabir has said.

She made this revelation in an exclusive interview with our correspondent recently. She noted that the initiative sprang from the implementation of the Strive Project, which according to her is aimed at driving productivity. 

“The Strive Workshop was about improving staff productivity through Performance Management System, Reward and Recognition and new career part.

“From the review of the last R&R, we realized that there was a need to plan a grand ceremony that will have every employee involved one way or the other”.   

The event, according her, would include activities like CSR, Award Night, Customers Engagement Forum and Lunch with the Board of Directors.

Kabir however hinted that a lot would depend on the company’s revenue generation for an event of that magnitude to be organized.

She therefore advised all staff to redouble their efforts to enable them hit the 2 billion Naira mark. 

“The event will be a morale booster for all and an excitable way to wind down the year. I therefore, call on every staff to work even harder to achieve the 2-billion-naira mark,”.
