Sir/Ma: I will like to draw your attention to a practise that if not checked could lead to an unpleasant event that will be regretable for all.
Yesterday, your regional leadership in Port Harcourt kept your staffs in the office to as late as 11 PM. I know of wives who got home, after 10 PM, even almost mid-night. I hear the same is being planned to continue indefinitely.
Appreciate the challenges of keeping a bank afloat and profitable in current day, especially with the global financial situation and the margin loans gone bad in Nigeria.
But I believe with a little more thought and respect for staffs and their families this can be managed better. Port Harcourt and other Niger delta states are not the safest places to be right now. The risk of being kidnapped or the victim of some violent crime is a reality we live with everyday. But this is even further hightened when you keep staffs late at night.
Let us not wait for an incident to happen before we take seriously the safety of what should be your most priced assets, your staff.
My suggestion is that you limit all these unnecessary exposure of staffs at night to the barest minimum. If possible eliminate it totally.
You can have the same daily review meeting, 1st thing in the morning. For example, 7AM. Keeping staffs late at night for daily target reviews does not guarantee an increase in productivity or meeting targets, would it?
This is an appeal to your sense of better judgement.
I have resolved personally to take your bank to court if anything should happen to my family member who is a staff of your bank while attending or returning from these late night meetings.
A word is enough for the wise.
