The
Corporate Services Executive (CSE) of MTN Nigeria, Mr. Akinwale Goodluck has
described the recent endorsement by the United Kingdom-based Investor in People
(IiP) is another impetus for MTN.
Reacting
to the IiP award, Goodluck told ITRealms
that MTN is delighted to receive this recognition.
“It is
the highest accolade in people management practices from an independent and internationally
recognised body. It has given us additional impetus and determination to
continue to deploy best practice people solutions for the benefit of the
organisation and all our stakeholders,” he said.
Also
speaking, a registered specialist of Investors in People International and
a member of the team that carried out the assessment, Ken Baylis said, “MTN is a great example of a company using Investors
in People to improve business performance. They have worked hard to improve
people management and talent development.”
Equally, ITRealms gathered that the
initiative received an endorsement from the Chartered Institute of Personnel
and Development (CIPD), UK.
According to CIPD executive, Mr. Richard Braybrooke this was one of the most
comprehensive in depth approaches to career management ever seen.
CIPD, he said, believes this is the missing ingredient
in making a comprehensive talent management approach successful.
Many organisations, Braybrooke noted, are keen to win
the competitive war for talent get the organisational systems in place, only to
forget the individual's contribution in jointly recognising their career
aspirations.
“We are sure that MTNN, who are currently training all
their managers and employees in effective career management, will see a marked
positive effect on their business bottom line by retaining and developing their
talented employees," Braybrooke said.
ITRealms further gathered that MTN’s
talent development creed has been demonstrated over the years in the number of
Nigerians who have been appointed to strategic positions across various MTN
operations.
Karl Toriola was appointed CEO of MTN Cameroun in 2011 and only
recently, Mike Ikpoki became the first Nigerian CEO of MTN Nigeria having
served as CEO of MTN Ghana for two years.
