Not until now has Nigeria witnessed elevation en mass in the banking sector or any sector apart from the government owned organizations, but today, Fidelity bank has beating every employer in Nigeria to it. The banking sector of the nation is known for en mass retrenchment of staff members and not elevation.
When the CBN task the commercial banks for funds or introduce new policies, they retrench their staff, something like a ‘getting-back at you game’ for them against those who benefits from them. It is a joyful thing to hear that Fidelity bank is setting a new example for its colleagues who we hope and pray don’t look the other way in pretense.
CEO of Fidelity Bank, Nnamdi Okonkwo revealed today that Fidelity bank has elevated a total of 256 staff members across the class o employment within the work force, beginning from the lower class, through the middle class. Staying true to their name. They have been trustworthy to the promise made to the staff, which is rewarding hard work and diligence.
Mr. Nnamdi said “Nearly four years ago when we commenced this new growth phase, we promised to make reward for performance and career progression, topmost priority. We have kept that promise without fail,” he said.
“The employees who were promoted were selected through an enhanced performance management system based on clearly articulated promotion criteria” he stated.
Whilst congratulating the beneficiaries, he urged staff members to redouble their efforts towards achieving better financial results in 2017, adding that “our aim is to remain an employer of first choice, and to achieve this we will continuously motivate our people”.
No wonder, the study showed by Venture Africa in conjunction with jobberman.com in 2015 ranked Fidelity Bank as one of the best banks to work for in Nigeria. Thumbs up to Fidelity Bank on this one.
