Union Bank of Nigeria held its first-ever Stay Recharged Health Walk. This dynamic event affirmed the bank’s commitment to employee well-being and sustainable workplace development.
The walk started at the Stallion Plaza, Union Bank’s Head Office in Marina. It concluded at the Bank’s Sports Complex, The Stable, on Bode Thomas Street, Surulere, tracing an energising 7.5km route through Lagos’ vibrant streets.
The overwhelming participation and enthusiasm from employees from diverse departments and locations made it a celebration of physical fitness, mental health, and the power of community spirit.
Stay Recharged is a featured event drawn from a cornerstone of Union Bank’s employee value proposition: employee wellness, thoughtfully crafted to foster a culture where health, happiness, and productivity flourish.
The initiative responds directly to the urgent need for purposeful wellness programmes that nurture physical and mental health at work.
It reflects the Bank’s recognition that employee wellbeing is fundamental to sustained productivity, engagement, and organisational excellence.
The chief talent officer, Omayuli Wale-Ajayi, emphasised the significance of this milestone event: “At Union Bank, well-being is not an afterthought; it is part of how we work.

When we care for ourselves, we build stronger teams and institutions.”
