No fewer than 800 employees of Access Bank Plc have been promoted by the management of the financial institution as it transitions into a holding company (Holdco) structure.
The elevation of the members of staff followed a transparent and robust performance management review in line with global best practices.
According to a statement from the lenders, the beneficiaries were drawn from the senior, middle and junior management levels even as the management strives to continuously put employees in the best position to grow and be successful in today’s highly competitive work environment.
Over the years, Access Bank has demonstrated that employee performance and rewards remain a critical pillar of its business operations and has consistently provided adequate resources to deepen core job skills while entrenching a culture of high performance amongst employees.
The company’s penchant for rewarding high performance is particularly highlighted by the annual CEO Awards, one of the programs under its We Clap Initiative which is designed to support the development of a culture of excellence as well as motivate employees and teams for superior performance.
Recently, Access Bank was named the best institution to work in Nigeria by the global professional network company, LinkedIn, having assessed data across seven pillars that serve as identifiers of career progression, namely: the ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity and spread of educational backgrounds.
The bank’s consistent growth over the years has been due to the immeasurable effort and sacrifice of its employees.
