The management of the bank also confirmed the
mass sack via a statement released by Managing Director, Charles Kie.
The statement reads:
The bank, in its renewed drive for
optimal performance, has in addition realigned certain roles bank wide to
ensure improved efficiency. This necessitates the exits of some staff who were
adequately compensated.
This is in furtherance of a market
repositioning exercise designed to strengthen the bank’s business across all
markets where it operates. Our focus is to improve the quality of service to
our customers as well as our operational efficiency.
We understand that people are our key assets;
so, we have emphasized the need to reward our best performers, continue to
re-invigorate our people, while also opening up new opportunities for talented
and committed people to join us as permanent employees.
At the same time, based on our repositioning
plan, we had to disengage some staff, while ensuring that, in line with
industry standards, they are treated fairly.”
Meanwhile, Diamond Bank also reportedly sacked
about 200 of its employees on Tuesday, May 31, 2016.
