Ecobank Nigeria Limited has announced the conversion of over 200 outsourced personnel to permanent employees of the bank, as part of the bank’s drive to attract and reward talent, while also repositioning for improved efficiency.
In line with its recognition of excellence, the bank also recently implemented a merit pay increase for the top performers across all cadres.
Making the announcement in Lagos, Charles Kie, managing director of the bank, said converting qualified outsourced staff to permanent staff was in line with the bank’s commitment to develop and grow talent by nurturing its people along their career paths and giving them access to higher responsibilities.
The bank is resolute that recognising and rewarding excellence will drive its goal of achieving exceptional performance in the industry, Kie said.
According to Kie, the bank in its renewed drive for optimal performance has, in addition realigned certain roles bank wide to ensure improved efficiency.
This, he said, necessitated the exits of some staff who were adequately compensated, saying this is in furtherance of a market repositioning exercise designed to strengthen the bank’s business across all markets where it operates.
