In the most challenging of years, Nigeria’s Best Workplaces have risen to the challenges by putting their people first and driving the highest levels of trust.
Today we celebrate these organisations as they go above and beyond for their most valuable asset - their people. And their people agree - 79% of them said that their company is a great place to work.
As we emerge from the pandemic, we see new trends emerge; organisations reflect on their purpose in the society and examine what drives their performance and stands them out from their competitors, employees re-evaluate their priorities and look for higher levels of job satisfaction and better work-life balance, increased availability of job opportunities enable employees change jobs more easily, organisations implement permanent remote working and focus further shifts on organisational and employee health, and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Across the board, the Best Workplaces are ones where employees feel they are contributing to something greater than themselves. The Best Workplaces understand that supporting employees’ well-being improves happiness and retention, and that when workers feel valued, they are willing to put in extra effort when times get tough.
