Happy National Workers Day: We Need To Remain Committed To Promoting Employee Engagement Through Deliberate Policy Implementation

National Workers Day also known as May Day officially became a public holiday on May 1, 1981, in Nigeria, precisely Kano State. The commemorative day has been regarded ever since as one to celebrate the efforts of the workforce around the country, irrespective of the sector where a worker is employed. This is significant as it tends to recognize the contributions of employees across all sectors toward economic development while ensuring that every measure is put in place to uphold the dignity of labour.

As West Africa’s leading specialty chemicals company and a leader in oil and gas services, Eunisell Limited is glad to celebrate this commemorative day and remains committed to ensuring that our workers (both direct and indirect) are supported, recruited, and retained within global standards.

Considering the sector in which we operate, the safety of everyone is paramount. Eunisell ensures that its safety policies are guided by standard global practices. We understand that it is important that every employer makes deliberate efforts to contain the biggest threats to workplace safety while ensuring that the right and safe work tools that enhance productivity are provided. It is also the responsibility of every committed employer to ensure that workplace risks are well evaluated and that common safety hazards are avoided or reduced to the barest minimum.

We also set safety objectives to confirm that our employees work in the right and safe environment and also make sure that they understand and adhere strictly to our safety policies. Hence, we guarantee that our employees are safety advocates at all times.

Most importantly, institutionalizing effective guidelines and policies that address these safety standards from top to bottom, by ensuring open communication that maintains situational awareness, has been instrumental in helping our employees appreciate our world of work.

We have also maintained a strategic and robust human resource policy to promote diversity, inclusion equity, and equality within our workforce. Eunisell also identifies and deals decisively and collectively to break all biases at the workplace including cultural, social, and gender for global development.

In the present-day workplace, promoting an equal-gender work environment to protect the rights of every employee while specifically promoting the visibility of women is essential for enhanced productivity. This engenders the creation of equal opportunities for all. A work environment that makes everyone feel equally involved in the work process and get supported in the workplace is critical to achieving better results.

While we commemorate Workers Day, let us remember to always protect life, consistently improve work conditions and maintain a healthy work-life balance for all. #HappyWorkerDay to every employee in Nigeria!?
