Meanwhile, Dr. Fola Rogers-Saliu, Executive Director, Human Resources and Administration, noted that SIFAX Group’s policy of treating its staff in a deserving manner has yielded great result.
“We have staff here today, who have spent twenty five years in the service of the company. This goes to show that the company is really doing something right with its staff for them to pursue a long-term career path with us. Staff motivation and reward is dear to the heart of Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, our Chairman and he leaves no stone unturned to make sure workers are happily rewarded,” she said.
Out of the sixty employees honoured, fifty-seven of them celebrated their ten years with the company, two celebrated fifteen years while one staff was celebrated for his twenty-five years’ service to the company.
