On Friday, June 23, 2023, the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel hosted the 5th annual Health Environmental Safety & Security (HESS) awards ceremony. FBNBank received the Employee Empowerment Excellence Award.
The goal of the HESS awards is to recognise and honour outstanding businesses for their outstanding work in the fields of occupational health, environment, safety, and security (HESS). The award also aims to encourage the use of best practises in HESS management systems, which follow the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” cycle and represent the traditional model. This year’s awards had the theme “Building a sustainable future of work through Health, Environment, Safety and Security.” FBNBank was among the 11 people and 36 organisations that received awards at this year’s ceremony.
A board of distinguished Ghanaians supervises the awarding procedures.
Nana Awo Ama Sakyibea, Ankobea Hemaa, and Akropong Aboasa gave the Employee Empowerment Excellence Award to FBNBank, and Grace Isaac-Aryee, the bank’s treasurer, Allen Quaye, the head of retail banking, and Enoch Vanderpuye, the country team lead for marketing and corporate communications, accepted it on the bank’s behalf.
Commenting on the award, FBNBank’s Grace Isaac-Aryee said, “FBNBank, over the years has recognized that our employees are our greatest asset. We support and empower our employees to excel in an enabling, conducive working environment while we invest in their growth and wellbeing. Our employees are one of our major stakeholders who over the years have played significant roles in the success of the Bank. They are ambassadors of the Bank and we will always continue to keep them at the heart of what we do. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to organisers for the thorough processes in nominating awardees and for acknowledging the efforts of FBNBank. I finally want to dedicate this award to all our employees and I hope this will encourage them to achieve their best”
