NECA Tasks FG On Robust Relationship With Workforce

National president of the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA) Mr. Taiwo Adeniyi has tasked the federal government and other employers to create more robust relationships with the workforce to enhance productivity.

Adeniyi called on the federal government to create a better business environment that would make the Organised Private Sector (OPS) thrive in their jobs creation drive.

Adeniyi who spoke on the topic: “Going beyond Limits” at the NECA 2021 Employers’ Excellence Awards in Lagos, lamented the harsh economic environment in the country, noting that the award was in recognition of the hard work and doggedness of industries who despite the business challenges have weathered the storm to make positive impact on growing and sustainability of the economy.

“Our key objective for the award is to recognise and publicly reward enterprises that have 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.”

Also, the director-general, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Mr Segun Ajayi Kadri, expressed dismay over the plight the OPS is currently facing in order to remain afloat in business.
