Employers of Labour in Nigeria are about to be celebrated in a special way as they will now be awarded for their achievements and contribution to the progress of their employees and the various sectors of the economy.
Tagged ‘EMPLOYERS-OF-CHOICE AWARDS’, the annual awards is a complete celebration of employers of labour across industries, all sectors and geo-political regions of  Nigeria, who consistently prioritise the welfare of their people even as they continue to grow their businesses.
The awards event is of high degree of integrity and transparency with a view to ensuring only deserving firms, corporations and entrepreneurs emerge as winners in over 40 categories.
Organised by Multi-Talent Heritage and Associates (MTHA), the awards aim at bringing to fore the situation of the average Nigerian worker, reward excellent employee welfare, propagate the benefits of employee engagement and properly position employers who treat their workers well as employers of choice to potential employees amongst others.
Award criteria include employee remuneration, employee fringe benefits, workplace ergonomics, workforce diversity programme, staff training and development, staff turnover and some other areas of importance.
The Chief Judge of the awards panel is an erudite scholar of psychology from a foremost university in the country to be supported by a team of high calibre professionals from diverse backgrounds such as the legal profession, academia, human resource practice, media and management consulting.
Nominees for the awards will be generated through newspaper adverts and other advertising media such as facebook, twitter and several blog sites. You can also vote across categories by sending emails to [email protected] or [email protected] while adverts would be placed in the media for voting in all categories.
The award categories include Employer of Choice (Oil and Gas), Employer of Choice (Telecoms), Employer of Choice (Manufacturing), Employer of Choice (Tertiary Education),and Employer of Choice (Secondary Education).
Others include Employer of Choice (Print Media), Employer of Choice (Electronic Media), Employer of Choice (Advertising), Employer of Choice (Marketing Communications) and numerous others.
The event is billed for March 2011 at MUSON Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, while it will end at 8.00pm. Comperes will kick-start the event with some stand-up comedy and a drama presentation. Awards will be presented to each winner after short citations.
Special guests include the Labour Minister, NLC President and other highly placed individuals. There would be a short presentation on the sponsors; this will be in appreciation of their gestures.
There will be live coverage of the event by a notable television station and also have several television stations and independent producers on hand to cover the event for broadcast at later dates. There would also be a gala night for Chief Executive Officers of eventual winners at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
