Union Bank of Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to employee well-being and sustainable workplace development with the successful launch of its first-ever “Stay Recharged” Health Walk in Lagos.
The event began at the Bank’s Head Office, Stallion Plaza, Marina, and concluded at The Stable, its Sports Complex on Bode Thomas Street, Surulere — covering an invigorating 7.5-kilometre route through Lagos’ bustling streets. The walk drew enthusiastic participation from employees across departments and locations, celebrating physical fitness, mental health, and team spirit.
The Stay Recharged initiative is a key feature of Union Bank’s employee value proposition, designed to cultivate a culture of health, happiness, and productivity. It addresses the growing need for workplace wellness programmes that support both physical and mental health, reinforcing the Bank’s belief that employee well-being drives long-term productivity and organisational excellence.
Omayuli Wale-Ajayi, Chief Talent Officer at Union Bank, highlighted the importance of the event, stating:
“At Union Bank, well-being is not an afterthought; it is part of how we work. Our inaugural Stay Recharged Health Walk reflects our commitment to building a culture where our people are energised, supported, and thriving. When we take care of ourselves, we build stronger teams and stronger institutions.”
The initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth — underscoring the Bank’s commitment to fostering a workplace that promotes wellness, decent work, and long-term sustainability.
By investing in health-focused programmes like Stay Recharged, Union Bank continues to strengthen its internal community, enhance employee engagement, and solidify its position as an employer of choice. The Bank remains dedicated to developing innovative wellness initiatives that inspire healthier lifestyles and drive shared growth for its people and organisation.
