at the event, Unilever Assistant Company SHE Manager, Shola Oladeinde shared
insightful tips on making shopping safe for customers. Citing the electricity
example, Mr. Oladeinde advised that cable wiring done wrong could lead to fire outbreak.
“Itis
very important that professionals do the electrical work. We also need to
ensure employees are constantly trained, so that if there is an emergency on
ground, they can at least, administer first aid”, he said.
“Another
key to success is respecting employees’ dignity. This involves fairness in the
workplace and treating employees’ right. This includes, but not limited to
timely payment of salary, competitive salary consistent with industry standard,
avoiding child labour and employee abuse. Once employees are happy, customers
will be happy”, he added.
