CWG Plc, a leading pan-African technology solutions provider, has been officially certified as a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organisation for 2025. This prestigious accreditation, awarded by the global authority on workplace culture, comes after a comprehensive assessment that included direct, anonymous feedback from employees and a rigorous culture audit.
The results were overwhelmingly positive, with an impressive 90% of CWG’s workforce affirming it as a great place to work, and validating CWG’s strategic investment in its human capital as the cornerstone of its success.
The Great Place to Work® survey revealed compelling data that underpins the certification, showing that 92% of employees feel management is approachable and easy to talk to, 89% believe they are treated well regardless of their position, and 87% feel welcomed when they join the company.
This high-trust environment is fuelled by CWG’s open-door policy and actionable feedback channels from which employee engagement initiatives are born. This co-creation model has directly shaped industry-leading welfare programs, comprehensive engagement activities, and robust training opportunities, ensuring the culture is built by all.
The Group Chief Executive Officer, CWG Plc, Adewale Adeyipo, stated: ”This certification is a significant milestone in our strategic journey. It confirms that our most valuable asset is our people, and our greatest competitive advantage is our culture. At CWG, we have always believed that shared prosperity is the engine of sustainable growth. We are committed to doubling down on our investments in leadership development, digital empowerment, and well-being initiatives to ensure CWG remains the premier place to build a career in technology across Africa.”
This people-centric approach has yielded significant tangible benefits, including an average annual retention rate of 85%, significantly above the industry average, which demonstrates that employees choose to build their careers at CWG. The company’s holistic well-being programs include fully subsidised mental health support and therapy sessions, emergency support schemes, and flexible work arrangements, ensuring employees are supported in their health, finances, and family lives.
Furthermore, CWG empowers its workforce through substantial investments in growth, including comprehensive learning and development plans for staff, full refunds for professional certifications, paid study leave, and more, all fostering a culture of continuous learning and ownership.
In a recent interview, the Group Chief Operating Officer, CWG Plc, Afolabi Sobande, added: ”Operational excellence is impossible without an engaged and empowered team. This certification is a testament to the daily efforts of every individual at CWG who lives our values of Ownership and Initiative. The feedback from our employees is the most valuable operational data we receive. It directly informs how we streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and drive innovation. By listening to our people, we don’t just create a better place to work; we build a more agile, responsive, and successful business.”
Group Head, Human Resources and Admin, Tinu Adeyemi, concluded: ”Our people have spoken, and we are deeply grateful for their endorsement. The stories of employee support, from personal crises to professional growth, are what truly define us. We have built a culture where employees feel seen, heard, and empowered to shape their workplace. This ‘people-first’ philosophy is our bedrock, and we will continue to innovate in how we support, develop, and celebrate every member of the CWG family.”
The Great Place to Work-Certified™ recognition enhances CWG Plc’s employer brand, solidifying its position as an employer of choice and a benchmark for organisational culture in the technology sector across Africa.
