for in Nigeria.
This recognition came at the 2015 'Great Place to Work' Awards
ceremony which held at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos
recently. At the event, Unilever Nigeria was named the second best
company to work for in Nigeria under the 'large corporates' category
of the awards.
The Great Place to Work Institute's 'Great Place to Work' ranking
forms the world's largest and most respected study of workplace
excellence and people management practices. The ranking rates
organisations based on employees' responses to a survey which measures
the level of trust in their organization. Great Place to Work also
conducts a culture audit which evaluates people management practices
and workplace culture in assessed organisations.
Commenting on the award, Unilever Nigeria's Human Resources Director
Mrs. Tolulope Agiri said: "We are honoured to be named as the second
best place to work in Nigeria. The recognition reflects the
exceptional workplace culture at Unilever, as well as the company's
focus on creating an outstanding professional and personal work
experience for all employees. This achievement inspires us to raise
the bar even higher to clinch the No. 1 spot next year".
She added" Unilever's emergence as one of the best companies to work
for in Nigeria comes as no surprise. The company actively drives
initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion, as well as enhance
employee skills and capabilities. Furthermore, Unilever boasts unique
initiatives like its 'flexi working' scheme which enables employees to
balance work and life".
She noted" The company has also been a leading light in the corporate
sustainability movement. Inspired by the company's purpose ('To make
Sustainable Living Commonplace'), Unilever has delivered impactful
initiatives that have helped numerous Nigerians improve the quality of
their lives. By making sustainability a strategy and operating model,
Unilever offers its employees a unique opportunity to be part of the
company's initiatives that promote sustainability and create a
brighter future for generations unborn".
It would be recalled that last year, the company also emerged overall
number one employer in Nigeria on the Universum Employer Brand
Rankings – a globally recognized ranking which reveals employers that
are most attractive to talent.
