What It Means Being The Best Employer, Case Study Of Absa Bank Kenya

They say people don’t leave their careers. People don’t leave their jobs. They leave bad bosses and bad employers. It is not common to see people praising their employers. Often, they come out to complain when something goes wrong through the tagline “Toxic Workspaces.”

We rarely see people talk about “good employers” because there are not many good employers. Good employers are hard to come by. They are golden and mostly both unseen and unrecognized. They are often silent in their nature of work but run deep like the deepest of streams.

As they say, no business or employer exists in a vacuum. People buy people, not products and services. It is the unwritten rule of business that breeds trust, the only indivisible currency that makes businesses thrive.

A good employer has a work culture that puts people at the center of every business strategy because people are what make a business thrive. As the world changes, so do the employment sphere. In today’s world, the best professionals are not looking for a job, they are looking for a work culture that allows them to develop and grow.

What can others learn from Absa Bank Kenya as the best and top employer?

Invest in those who work for you. When you invest in those who work for you, you motivate them and they in turn motivate your customers. A happy employee, a happy customer.

Trust those who work for you. Trust is the invisible currency that every business must have to thrive. When you trust your employees, your customers will trust them and your business will boom. The opposite is true.

Have a people-centered work culture. A business without a proper culture is like a ship without a compass. It is a business run through trial and error. A strong work culture that focuses on people makes the business human.

Train those who work for you to understand the business. People have different skills. Training them to have a common goal for your business creates a team that will always pull toward success.

As Absa Bank Kenya Managing Director Yusuf Omari says, “We are continually striving to maintain a workplace where employees feel empowered and well-supported.  We are delighted that these efforts are being recognized.”
