EMPOWERING WOMEN AT WORK: HOW UNION BANK’S FAMILY-FRIENDLY REVOLUTION IS SETTING NEW STANDARDS

Union Bank

Union Bank of Nigeria stands at the forefront of the nation’s financial sector, leading the charge in promoting gender inclusivity and empowering women.

With a rich legacy of innovation and dedication, the Bank is actively creating a more equitable and supportive environment for women, both within its own workforce and across the wider Nigerian community.

Recently honoured as the ‘Family-Friendly Bank of the Year’ by The New Telegraph, Union Bank is raising the bar with progressive policies for customers and employees alike.

Through its Alpher initiative, the Bank is investing in the future of female students, entrepreneurs, and professionals throughout Nigeria.

Alpher offers bespoke financial services, career and business development opportunities, and exclusive lifestyle benefits designed to help women thrive.

Union Bank’s strategic collaborations, such as its sponsorship of the Nigerian British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) Women and Youth Entrepreneurship Development Centre (WYEDC) programme, have enabled numerous entrepreneurs to graduate, access vital training, and secure grant opportunities.

Within its own ranks, Union Bank set a new benchmark with a five-month fully paid maternity leave, complemented by the option to take annual leave.

This policy, aligned with the United Nations SDG 3: ‘Good Health and Well-Being’, ensures that employees have the time and support they need to recover and bond with their families.

The Bank’s internal women’s network, WeHub (Women Empowerment Hub), regularly hosts insightful events and discussions focused on bridging the digital gender divide and advancing the careers of female employees.

Demonstrating further commitment to working parents, Union Bank has established a state-of-the-art Crèche at its Head Office in Marina, Lagos Island.

Equipped with lactation rooms and family-friendly facilities, this initiative directly supports SDG 5: ‘Gender Equality’, enabling women to balance their professional and family responsibilities in a truly inclusive workplace.

Union Bank’s comprehensive approach to gender inclusivity and empowerment solidifies its status as an industry leader, fostering a supportive internal environment while championing the advancement of women across multiple sectors.

Be part of this journey towards a more equitable and prosperous Nigeria; choose Union Bank, where empowerment and progress go hand in hand.
