Botswana Life, manual workers union renew vows
Botswana Life Insurance Limited ( Botswana Life) renewed its partnership with National Amalgamated Central, Local and Parastatal Workers Union ( NACLPWU) to ensure that Botswana’s public workforce, which comprises of a large demographic of the Nation’s workers, remain financially secure and stable. The partnership includes the provision of products such as life and funeral cover, as well as Credit Life with the availability of an in- house actuarial, to enable evidence- based product development so that the needs of clients are addressed and are relevant to current situations. Botswana Insurance Holdings Group Executive Head of Business Development and Stakeholder Management, Thomas Masifhi, said they understand that leveraging partnerships and cooperation to make a tangible difference is not only valuable but imperative. “We have indeed come a long way with the Amalgamated Union, and we are truly honoured to have the opportunity to continue supporting the Union and its members.” Botswana Life’s partnership with the Amalgamated Union has been in effect since 2019 and continues to grow. Furthermore, in 2021, Botswana Life donated P100,000 COVID- 19 relief fund to the Union to support and make a positive impact on the lives of the Union members. The donation aims to help safeguard the longevity of the union. Together, the organisations have set out to ensure the long- term security and wellbeing of Botswana’s public workforce. The institutions remain aligned in recognising that all should be included and benefit from Botswana’s development and socioeconomic growth. Masifhi highlighted that their strength as a business lies in the ability to partner with institutions who have stood out and shown themselves to be pillars of growth in the nation by continuously placing the needs of Batswana at the centre of all that they do. “We recognise that unions form the cornerstone of a working society and help set quality standards for our Nation’s workforce.”
