Norrenberger, an industry leading, integrated financial services Group, is proud to announce that it has been bestowed with two prestigious awards at the 2023 Banking and Finance International (BAFI) Awards organised by Business Day. We received the coveted Deal of the Year (acquisition of The Infrastructure Bank) and Innovative Fund Managers of the Year accolades.

Listed as a nominee in the keenly contested categories that featured strong competitors jostling for the number one spot as “Deal of the Year” and “Innovative Fund Manager of the Year, Norrenberger’s win of the awards is a well-deserved recognition of its outstanding achievements, innovative practices and contributions to the financial services industry, and the Nigerian economy.

The BAFI Awards, organized annually to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements in the finance industry, have established themselves as a symbol of excellence, integrity, and innovation. This year, Norrenberger’s remarkable accomplishments have earned the Group the spotlight in not one, but two categories.

The “Deal of the Year” award recognises Norrenberger’s acquisition of The Infrastructure Bank with a 60 percent controlling equity stake, which has had a significant impact on the financial landscape as one of the first PPP acquisition in recent times. The Group’s commitment to delivering exceptional value to its clients, coupled with its ability to structure and execute complex deals, set it apart as the undisputed winner in this category.

In addition to the “Deal of the Year” award, Norrenberger was also named “Innovative Fund Manager of the Year.” This recognition underscores the company’s continuous pursuit of innovation and excellence in the fund management space.

Speaking on the occasion, Tony Edeh, Group Managing Director/Chief Executive of Norrenberger, expressed gratitude for the prestigious awards, saying “We are truly honoured to receive the ‘Deal of the Year’ and ‘Innovative Fund Managers of the Year’ awards from BAFI. These accolades are evidence of our team’s hard work, dedication, and innovative spirit. At Norrenberger, we are constantly striving to exceed expectations and set new industry standards. We remain committed to providing our clients with world-class financial solutions.”

Norrenberger’s innovative strategies, prudent risk management, and unswerving determination to maximizing returns on investments for its customers have cemented its position as a trailblazer in the financial services industry. These unique capabilities have crystallised improvements in its industry ratings – as its ratings were recently upgraded to ‘BBB(IM)’ and ‘A-’ by Agusto & Co Limited and Data Pro Limited, respectively. Speaking on this growth, Pabina Yinkere, representing the Business Head, Asset Management said ‘’there is an undeniable and indefatigable commitment on our path as fund managers to ensure that we remain an asset management company par excellence in our unique offerings to our customers.

These awards come right after the Group celebrated a prestigious 5th year anniversary – A half decade of transforming lives and supporting Nigerians through sustainable wealth creation. During the anniversary celebrations, Norrenberger launched its corporate responsibility and sustainability-impact focused fund of over N500m targeting young entrepreneurs. The Group also hosted an elegant gala night with customers, partners, industry players and staff to celebrate its numerous milestones.

Norrenberger’s success in securing these two accolades demonstrates its commitment to excellence and innovation in the financial services industry. The company’s strong track record, client-centric approach, and forward-thinking strategies have propelled it to the forefront of the industry.

We live in a fast-paced corporate world, where demands are higher, pressure is ‘werser’ and everything around us like social media and poor dieting is determined to undermine health. A balance between physical and mental well-being is crucial in times like this. As employees spend increasingly longer hours at work, it is essential to adopt habits and strategies to ensure that their physical and mental well-being are protected. Whether it is developing a new hobby or switching jobs, take intentional steps to protect yourself and your employees.

“Each year, the global economy experiences losses that cost about $1 trillion because of anxiety, stress, and depression at work.”

-The World Health Organization

There are multiple benefits of good physical and mental health for workers. Increased productivity and performance are a no-brainer. Employees who are physically and mentally healthy are more likely to be productive at work. They stay motivated and by extension are creative and innovative in their capacities. Employees who are in optimal health conditions take fewer sick leaves and perform well.

Moreso, employees with stable mental health tend to build stronger relationships with co-workers and supervisors. They do not feel threatened, they are confident in their work and are willing to take constructive criticism. These employees are supportive and cooperative and are generally less likely to be involved in conflict.

Reduced stress is a critical benefit, not just for the employees but for the employer too. In a work environment where employees are confident in their work, not afraid to make mistakes and passionate about achieving the overall organisational goal, there is little chance for unnecessary stress. They are less likely to experience anxiety and depression (stemming from work-related issues) and are more likely to bounce back from setbacks.

All these factors ultimately lead to a happier work environment and happy employees. Employees who are physically and mentally healthy are more likely to feel satisfied with their jobs and the rate of burnout is significantly reduced.

The responsibility of protecting the well-being of individuals in the workplace is the responsibility of the employee. Nobody can take better care of you than yourself. It is also the responsibility of the employer. As we like to say at Norrenberger, the people are our competitive advantage – and they are. Let us take a look at how both parties can be intentional about protecting the general well-being of individuals in the workplace.

How Employees Can Protect Their Well-being

There are many great things that employees can do to protect their physical and mental health including:

Eating a healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet is essential for good physical and mental health. It provides the body with the nutrients it needs to function properly and can help reduce stress and anxiety. A healthy diet means not skipping lunch hour, knowing that you already miss breakfast and dinner. It does not consist of the several questionable junk foods you keep in your snack drawer. So, consider religiously taking your lunch break and replacing those snacks with fruits and protein bars with the occasional slice of cake and whatnot.

Exercising regularly: Even though this is often skipped, exercise is an important part of maintaining physical and mental health. It helps improve cardiovascular health, reduce stress, and boost mood. The ‘9-5ers’ that double as gym rats can vouch for this point. So, whether it’s a 30-minute yoga session before work or a casual stroll in the evening, dedicate some time to regular exercises and thank us later by investing in a series of diversified portfolios.

Getting enough sleep: When you don’t get enough sleep, you are more likely to experience fatigue, irritability and difficulty concentrating. The recommended duration is 7-8 hours of sleep. While it might not be entirely feasible for everyone, especially people that have multiple jobs and hobbies, we recommend you get as close to that as possible. Skip the extra hour on Instagram and focus on getting more sleep.

Managing stress: Stress is a normal part of life – we all get stressed every now and then. But too much stress can have a negative impact on your well-being. There are many things, however, you can do to manage your stress levels. Remember the point about exercising? You can also spend time with your loved ones and get a hobby.

Seeking professional help: If you are struggling with physical or mental health issues, whether it’s work-induced or not, we recommend you seek professional help. A therapist can help you identify and address the underlying causes of your problems, and they can teach you coping skills to manage stress and anxiety.

How Employers Can Support the Well-being of Their Employees

Employers have a responsibility to support the physical and mental health of their workers. Some of the things that employers can do include:

Providing health insurance: Health insurance can help employees to afford the care they need to stay healthy. It is important to include this in the employee benefits package. It shows that the company is intentional about the well-being of its employees.

Offering wellness programs: Wellness programs can help employees to learn about healthy habits and make changes to their lifestyles. At Norrenberger, we periodically offer wellness activities such as sports days and medical check-ups. Consider adopting these methods in caring for your employees’ general health.

Providing flexible work arrangements: Following the pandemic era, the direction of work environments has become considerably more flexible. Many companies are opting for more remote and hybrid working situations to ensure work-life balance and optimal productivity. Flexible work arrangements can help employees to balance their work and personal lives, which can reduce stress and improve health.

Creating a supportive work environment: A supportive work environment is one where employees feel valued and respected. There are various methods to this including speaking opportunities, getting employees’ inputs in company decisions, and conducting a mentorship program. This can help to reduce stress and improve mental health.

Providing mental health resources: Employers can provide mental health resources to employees, such as employee assistance programs and counselling services. This can be outsourced or championed by the human resource department consisting of qualified professionals.

The physical and mental well-being of employees is not one that can or should be ignored. By taking steps to protect the physical and mental health of their workers, employers can create a more productive and engaged workforce. Employees as well, can have more fulfilling careers when their physical and mental well-being is secured.
