Wema Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank and the 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 this certification.
*Great Place To Work* is recognized worldwide as the global authority on workplace culture. Through a comprehensive assessment of organizational culture, practices, and employee feedback, the *Great Place To Work* certification serves as an unequivocal endorsement of an organization’s positive work culture and commitment to employee well-being — as exemplified by Wema Bank’s consecutive certifications.
Wema Bank’s impressive track record reflects its unwavering commitment to employee well-being and fostering a positive work environment. The bank currently offers one of the longest standard leave policies in the industry, provides a Cost-Of-Living Adjustment (COLA) to mitigate the impact of economic fluctuations, offers a standard crèche for employees with infants, and maintains a fully equipped gym for fitness enthusiasts. Additionally, within the year, Wema Bank increased salaries for Non Full-Time Equivalent (NFTE) employees. From promoting work-life balance to prioritizing mental health, encouraging physical wellness, enhancing professional development, and offering upward reviews of allowances, Wema Bank consistently curates a range of unique benefits for its employees. As such, the bank is undoubtedly deserving of its successive *Great Place To Work* certifications.
Moruf Oseni, the MD/CEO of Wema Bank, attributed the two-time certification to the bank’s deep-rooted commitment to employee well-being. “At Wema Bank, we understand that our exceptional output as a bank is a result of the dedicated input of our employees, the Wema Bank Knights. We acknowledge the indispensable role they continue to play in our growth and success as a bank. This is why we spare no effort in providing an enriching, productive, supportive, and fulfilling work experience for our employees. This is a commitment we will never compromise on.”
“We are honored by the recognition from *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 for their personal and professional success, but it also motivates us to continue our efforts and exceed expectations in enhancing employee experiences. We see this as a challenge to go above and beyond in providing a fulfilling work environment for every Wema Bank employee. We trust that the strength of our internal framework will continue to reflect positively externally as we pursue our goal of providing optimal value for every stakeholder of Wema Bank,” Oseni concluded.
Wema Bank earned its first *Great Place To Work* certification in 2023, additionally securing four awards at the *Great Place To Work* Awards 2023. These accolades include: 2nd Best Place to Work in Nigeria (Large Corporate Organization 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.
