Ighodalo: Sterling Bank Committed to Providing Best Working Environment

Chairman of Sterling Bank Plc, Mr. Asue Ighodalo, has reiterated the bank’s commitment to providing its employees with the best possible working environment.

He made the disclosure during an inspection of the bank’s new Head Office Annex located along the busy Ikorodu Road in Lagos.

The new annex is equipped with a gym and game room which has game consoles and a pool table to ensure employees have fun at work. The facility also has a clinic and is fitted with solar panels, which generate clean energy in line with the bank’s environmental sustainability agenda.

Commending the bank’s management for desiring to give its employees one of the best working environments possible, Ighodalo said the new workplace would ensure optimal productivity, job satisfaction and talent retention.

He noted that although some of the bank’s competitors also have head office annexes, Sterling Bank decided to be different as part of a deliberate effort to become the number one bank of choice in the country. “We have done it differently, we have done it well and I am very proud of the team that did this job and I think they have done a great job.”

Ighodalo explained that the inspection provided him with the opportunity to interact with employees of the Bank as well as some of the customers who were in the bank at the time of the inspection. He said the Bank would strive to always to give its employees everything they need to feel appreciated, and motivated to work hard.

Also speaking, Managing Director and Chief Executive of Sterling Bank, Mr. Yemi Adeola, said although the bank’s head office is on the Lagos Island like most of the competition, a decision was taken to build the annex in the mainland area of Lagos to maximise benefits available from business opportunities in the metropolis.
