The national president of Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), Mr Taiwo Adeniyi, has tasked federal government and its members to create more robust relationship with workforce to enhance productivity.
This is even as he called on the federal government to enhance better business environment for the Organised Private Sector (OPS) so as to create jobs for the jobless Nigerians.
Adeniyi, while speaking on the topic ‘Going beyond Limits’at NECA 2021 Employers’ Excellence Awards in Lagos, lamented against the harsh economic environment, adding that, the award was in recognition of the hard work and doggedness of industries who, despite the business challenges, have withered the storm to make positive impact on growing and sustainability of the economy.
“Our key objective for the award is to recognise and publicly award enterprìse that has exhibited excellence in leadership, governance, innovation, corporate performance and human resource management.
“This award is in a bid to celebrate outstanding contributions of enterprise to national development. This is an annual award that provides a platform for identifying, ranking and celebrating the resilience, doggedness and outstanding performance of employers in Nigeria. It is to promote and encouraging best practices in corporate performance, people management and industrial relations practices amongst employers in Nigeria.
“The Annual Employers’ Excellence Award seeks to celebrate organizations, which see people as their core business and have implemented policies, systems and processes that create and sustain enterprise competitiveness, productivity along with industrial peace and harmony,” he pointed out.
On his part, the director general, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Mr Segun Ajayi Kadri expressed bitterness on the plight the OPS is currently facing in order to remain afloat in business.
