Polaris Bank Wins Sectoral Award at 2024 NECA Employers’ Excellence Awards

Polaris Bank has achieved yet another milestone by emerging as the Sectoral Winner in the Banking and Other Financial Institutions Sector category at the 2024 NECA Annual Employers’ Excellence Awards.

The Bank received the sectoral recognition for its innovative HR practice at the NECA’s Excellence Awards, (the 4th edition) which held recently at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Ikeja.

The NECA Annual Employers’ Excellence Awards celebrate organizations that excel in key areas such as leadership and people management practices, sound human resource systems, effective corporate governance, responsible business conduct, technological innovation, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, and the elimination of child labour.

Speaking on the award, Polaris Bank’s Managing Director/CEO, Kayode Lawal, stated:

“Winning this prestigious award accentuates our deliberate approach to promoting an environment where employees can thrive, innovate, and contribute meaningfully to the Bank’s success. It also highlights Polaris Bank’s leadership commitment to evolving into an employer of choice and a great place to work. Congratulations to the entire Polaris Bank family for this outstanding achievement on a sectoral scale! This win is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and innovative spirit of every member of our team. It could not have been any BIGGER! ”

YES-Let’s Talk About Shelter!

The message is very clear: Many Nigerians are eager to leave paid employment behind and plot their own destiny on their own terms. Even with all the bumps and spikes in the Nigerian business environment staked against entrepreneurs and small business owners, many still consider the Entrepreneur Route as the best route to their financial stability and future. A job is a job. A business is a business! It would be pertinent at this stage to look at key factors that would be of profound interest to existing and potential entrepreneurs.
