In a move to boost employee empowerment and workplace productivity, a leading Nigerian insurance company has successfully trained 150 of its staff members in financial literacy and personal money management.
The intensive training program, held over several days in Lagos, was part of the company’s broader initiative to enhance the financial well-being of its workforce. According to the organizers, the sessions covered critical topics such as budgeting, savings, investment strategies, debt management, and retirement planning.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, the company’s Managing Director said the initiative aims to equip employees with the tools needed to make smarter financial decisions both in their personal and professional lives.
“We believe that financially empowered employees are not only happier but also more productive and better positioned to serve our clients effectively,” the MD stated. “This training is a strategic investment in our people.”
Facilitated by certified financial advisors and industry experts, the program featured interactive workshops and real-life case studies tailored to address the financial challenges faced by workers in today’s economic climate.
Several participants expressed appreciation for the opportunity, describing the experience as “eye-opening” and “life-changing.”
“I’ve learned how to plan for the future, manage my expenses, and begin investing smartly,” said one employee. “This kind of training should be a regular feature in every workplace.”
The insurance firm said it plans to expand the initiative across its regional offices and incorporate more advanced modules in subsequent sessions.
As inflation and economic uncertainties continue to affect households nationwide, workplace-driven financial literacy programs like this are being recognized as vital tools for building financially resilient employees and organizations.
