Axxela wins fresh global recognition for workplace culture

Axxela Limited, a Nigerian gas and power company, has secured a fresh Great Place to Work recertification following an employee survey that recorded high ratings for workplace safety, inclusion and professional development.

The recertification was awarded by the globally recognised Great Place to Work Institute after an assessment of employees’ experiences across the organisation.

According to the company, 94 per cent of its employees said they felt physically safe at work, while 92 per cent said the organisation celebrated special events.

The survey also showed that 91 per cent of employees felt welcomed from their first day, while the same proportion said they felt good about Axxela’s contribution to the community.

Additionally, 90 per cent of employees said they were offered training and development opportunities to support their professional growth.

Commenting on the recognition, Axxela’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Moshood Olajide, said the recertification reflected the company’s commitment to creating a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and empowered to grow.

“We are proud to be recertified by the Great Place to Work Institute, as it reflects the voices and continued trust of our people,” he said.
