In recognition of its drive for excellence in the
Nigerian Pharmaceutical industry, Fidson Healthcare Plc was recently rewarded
for its outstanding performance in Human Resource Management with the award for
“Best Employee Engagement Programme.”
The award was given at this year’s edition of the
HR Future Workplace Awards during the HR Summit and Expo for West Africa, 2018
which took place at the Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island Lagos.
This award came only less than a week after the
company bagged the PEARL award for ‘Sectoral Leadership in
Healthcare-Pharmaceutical’ based on its performance in the Nigerian capital
market.
The Future Workplace Awards (2018), themed
“Celebrating the Human Side of Business,” sought to recognise outstanding
achievements of individuals, departments, teams and organisations that have
contributed to the growth and development of the West African HR Industry.
The events showcased the best HR talents in West
Africa and also recognised HR professionals in government and private sector
for their contributions towards creating a high performing workforce for the
future.
Fidson was shortlisted for the “Best Employee
Engagement Programme” award category along-side top organisations and
eventually emerged winner, based on the quality and impact of the company’s
several employee engagement initiatives.
Upon receiving the award, Head, Human Resource,
Fidson Healthcare Plc, Mrs. Adejoke Alli expressed gratitude to the organisers
of the event for recognising Fidson’s commitment towards building a workplace
for the future.
“We are excited about this award because it shows
that the company’s commitment and the efforts of our HR team in ensuring Fidson
is a great place to work, are not in vain. The team worked hard to pull this
off and I believe God has rewarded our efforts with success. We are extremely
thankful.”
In line with the company’s value proposition, we
recognise that the way we do things determines our outcomes. We support each
other to greatness. We not only inspire our people to achieve, we celebrate
their achievements with them.
The event was organised by Informa Africa and
Dubai, a well-known multinational events and publishing company that has been
organising world-class HR engagements in Nigeria, Dubai and other countries for
many years.
