Interswitch, Africa’s leading integrated payments and digital commerce company,
has emerged as one of Nigeria's top five companies in Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion (DEI) according to a report by advisory consulting firm, Hofstede
Insights.
The recognition was announced, following extensive research
carried out by the consulting firm and published in a report themed “Nigeria
DEI Report: An Assessment of the State of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
amongst the Leading Companies in Nigeria.”
The report assesses the degree of diversity, equity, and
inclusivity across board and management levels in corporate organizations in
Nigeria, and highlights the importance of creating a diverse, equitable, and
inclusive work environment for individuals from various backgrounds. It also
notes that only a few organizations met the global benchmark, with Interswitch
ranking among the top 5 in Nigeria.
Interswitch's impressive ranking in the assessment report points
to the technology company's dedication to providing an enabling workspace for
its employees by formulating and adopting inclusive workplace policies that
foster diversity and equity.
Commenting on the recognition, the Chief Human Resources Officer
for Nigeria at Interswitch, Franklin Ali stated that Interswitch's focus on
inspiring Africa to greatness was a key driving force for the company, a
priority that was reflected in the workspace through deliberate actions taken
to ensure that all employees reached their full potential.
He said, "We appreciate this recognition from Hofstede
Insights. At Interswitch, we have focused on ensuring that our workplace
culture presents a level playing field and provides an enabling environment for
our people to thrive. Making the Interswitch brand more equitable by empowering
our employees to give their best, has been of paramount importance. In line
with our mantra to consistently push the boundaries, we plan on remaining ahead
of the pack in this regard.’’
The company's desire to support its employees' career
aspirations was recently expressed through a series of perks introduced for
employees, their spouses, and their wards to drive high employee satisfaction
and boost talent retention.
