In line with its continuing policy of upgrading the well-being and welfare of its employees, Wema Bank Plc, Nigeria’s leading innovative financial institution, has announced the re-opening of Purple Crèche for its employees.

Purple Crèche [/b]is an initiative that provides top-tier daycare for the newborn and very young children of
[b]Wema Bank staff – the Wema Bank Knights – enabling them attend to their daily schedules.
It is a development that further affirms the narrative that Wema Bank is the employer of choice and a great place to work.

Purple Crèche is a daycare and educational facility located within the Wema Bank Head Office and is
available to children of Wema Bank staff, aged 3 – 30 months. The crèche had been temporarily closed
during Covid. The revamped Purple Creche has now been upgraded with top-notch quality facilities, equipment and human resources, all to provide the staff of Wema Bank with superior standards of care and education for their children.

The now re-launched Purple Crèche is fully equipped with premium state-of-the-art facilities and a private room for nursing mothers to breastfeed their infants. The staff also comprises a roster of qualified nurses on-site and is managed by trained and experienced, carers who place a premium on the documentation of the children’s activities, in order to keep parents updated on their children’s welfare and progress. The children themselves are taught and educated to develop their cognitive, social, and mental skills, giving them a head-start in life.

The facility is open every weekday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. in alignment with general staff work schedules, thus allowing staff to provide their children with exceptional care in professional hands, without worrying about their safety or well-being.

“Our commitment to improving the lives of our staff and helping them become the best versions of themselves, often have us developing new and improved employee-focused initiatives that positively impact their lives.” explains Ololade Ogungbenro, Wema Bank’s Divisional Head, Brand, People and Culture, “Purple Crèche is one of such initiatives. We observed that members of staff who had just returned from maternity leave had some difficulty adjusting to leaving their newborns at home. We started Purple Creche to bring the children closer to their parents without interrupting productivity on either side; and it was amazing to see parents handle their duties without worrying about their children’s, knowing they’re in the safe hands.

Regarding the renovation of the crèche, Ogungbenro insists it is in line with Wema’s commitment to excellence. “We maintain a constant review of Purple Creche’s facilities and decided to remodel and upgrade its facilities, improve the quality of Purple Creche staff and create a more homely, advanced and top-class care and learning environment for the children of our staff.” Ogungbenro adds that Purple Crèche is open to all staff of Wema Bank.

With its re-opening, Purple Crèche is an excellent facility with top-grade infrastructure and a well-trained staff providing children of Wema Bank employees with first-class care and education in a safe, secure and hygienic environment that’s within the immediate reach of their parents, and under the supervision of qualified professionals.

On her expectations for Purple Crèche, Ogungbenro says “It is about creating a home like environment for our staff most important treasures. When our staff are at peace that their treasures are safe, they can be at their best at work.

“Purple Crèche promises to be a safe haven for both children and parents to maximize their potential within a secure, nurturing environment. It is our faith that this will ultimately help to produce both intellectually sound and emotionally intelligent children, and highly productive, stress-free parents.”

To work for head office comes with somany advantages, those working at different branches should sort themselves out.

I like that color Purple.

Nice

Ok, a welcome development

Niceeee!!
No pictures?
Do they have to pay for it or it's free for their staff? If it's free, it's awesome

Good one

Ehen?

WEMA Bank has been on the news for some obvious good reasons lately 🤔

Wema bank seems to be the only bank in Nigeria that is just innovating and extending frontiers since Tinubu took over. . It's been tight for all the other banks in a way. .

I know it's an Odua thing. . Direct injection of funds from the Tinubu and Yoruba circles in this time is the key.

Just like Access Bank boomed under Goodluck Jonathan. . Even acquired a whole intercontinental bank. .

Same stuff.

Nazo

Nice

It is padi padi; underneath connections with governmental hierachy that brings very distinctive growth in major sectors in Nigerian economy. . Just like Dangote, Adenuga , BUA etc.

It is not innovation or ingenuity of the founder sir.

As am just looking at that man on suit, it reminded me of a very top official in an organization one time earning close to a million naira per month.

If you ask baba to help us get work in his company, baba no go gree. Baba no dey help anybody. Dem won chop all the money alone.

Covid came, the company retrenched alot of staff both junior and senior including baba.

Baba was now very jobless for months.

Fat chubby baba turned skinny.

The young graduate that was begging him then to help him with work in his company which baba refused now got a small job as an HR Officer.

One morning, the baba reached out to this young HR Officer to please help him find work since he is a recruiter. That he is jobless and needs money even if the pay is 50K.

This was a man earning 850K per month.

This life.

Help people when u are up there.

For you don't know what tomorrow brings.

(A true life story)

This is nice.

Wema Bank is everywhere these days. Small Bank doing big things 👏

Talking trash.

Wema Bank has been innovating before Tinubu's government. I joined the bank at the point when they started rebranding and innovating way back as 2014, up to the launch of the first digital bank in Africa in 2017, May 2nd precisely.

They have been doing a lot. The problem we have as staff is advertisement and publicity.

Trash will keep coming out of your mouth.

It's people like you that will have the capability to help ur fellow man, yet will enjoy watching him or her suffer and not render the help.

Yet will come online and justify yourself by saying..."how did you know I had influence to help him or not?"

Helping is a spirit.

It's either u have it or u don't.

From ur statement, you clearly do not have it.

Keep it up. The dice is still rolling
